60 Seconds with Safelite Tech David K.

While you'll likely get to interact with one of our techs if you need auto glass repair or replacement, you may not get to know their story with Safelite and what they enjoy doing outside of work. Each month, we will share a spotlight of one of our technicians like David.

Name: David K.

Job Title: In-Shop Technician, Dearborn Heights, MI

Length of time with Safelite: 5 months

What do you do for Safelite? Perform glass installations, and repair stone chips.

How did you get started as a technician?  I was working as a mechanic, and saw the hiring sign at the Dearborn Heights facility, looking for a solid career path I applied, and was given the opportunity to train and become an auto glass technician.

What’s the best thing about being a technician? For me, the variety of work that I do on a daily basis.  It is not the same every day, and I enjoy working with the tools.

What is the memorable experience you have had with Safelite?  Being a new tech, as I have only been in the installing business 6 months, I would have to say my experience going through training.  Making new friends, and gaining new mentors in our Quality Team, with Brian and Jesse.

Do you have a favorite customer experience?  Honestly, it really is very rewarding for me when I have a customer who notices the time and care I put into their vehicle with washing the windows, wiping the dash, rocker panels and vacuuming.

Outside of work, what are you passionate about? I enjoy watching sports and fooling with my motorcycles.
