"I enjoy cars. Whether it's driving or working on them. At home, when something needed to be repaired on the car, we always tried to do it ourselves first. And at some point I realised: you have to do something with cars. It's just fun every day when you come here." Anyone who sees Lars Beckmann in his dark grey overalls quickly realises that the employee with the alert eyes is fully in his element - and in the right place. In his case, this is the large workshop hall at Bethel Vehicle Service in Eckardtsheim.
Cars are constantly being brought in and out by customers, others are being lifted up on the lifting platforms or standing on the brake test bench. The vehicle service takes care of all company vehicles at the v. Bodelschwingh Foundation Bethel, for example. Lars Beckmann is always eager to learn, lends a hand wherever he is needed and jumps in when there is a need. "The head of processing gave me the nickname The Joker back then. I can be found in the workshop, for example, changing tyres or oil or doing a brake job. In Bielefeld, many vehicles have to be collected from customers and spare parts have to be collected. I do that too. And I sometimes answer the phone in the office."
