| Re: Meet your Automotive Forum Professionals I am a former automotive technician who still enjoys working on cars as a hobby. I started when I was 16 when I took my first job working at Precision Tune as a service technician. I worked mostly in automotive maintenance but it gave me the chance to get my feet wet.
I left the field to attend school for engineering and when I came back I took a job at a repair shop called A+ Auto Care. Here I did everything from diagnosing electrical system failures to replacing engines, transmissions or anything else that needed replacing. I did some work with refrigeration but my expertise was in diagnosing fuel injection problems and solving wiring mysteries.
I am completely self taught. All of my training consisted from direct hands on experience, reading technical manual after technical manual and some coaching from my brother who was an ASE master tech.
I have since gotten out of the automotive industry (as I work at a nuclear facility now) but still enjoy the field.
