Auto Mechanic Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last ten years getting hands dirty and eyes on the problem. At my last shop I diagnosed and repaired more than 1200 vehicles a year, using data from scans and road tests to prioritise work. I know how to fix what matters first, keep the job moving, and explain options clearly to customers. I’m looking to bring reliable diagnostics, solid maintenance planning and plain speak to [Company Name]. I’m comfortable with engine and transmission work, electrical fault finding, brake service, suspension, and preventive maintenance. I’ve used torque wrenches, multimeters and code readers daily, and I’m used to computerised service schedules and logging work orders so the team stays aligned. One example stands out from a busy stretch last year. A mid-range SUV came in with intermittent misfire and a harsh idle. I traced it to a failing ignition coil and a fouled injector when the fault appeared only under load. I replaced the coil, cleaned the intake, and re-flashed the ECU. The owner was relieved that the car ran smoothly after, and the vehicle stayed reliable for the next 6,000 kilometres. It was a straightforward fix, but the result mattered to the customer and the workshop’s reputation. I’m available for a chat about how I can fit into the team at [Company Name]. I’m happy to discuss availability and how my hands-on approach can support your workshop targets. Kind regards, [Your Name]
