General auto repair,electical issues,driveability issues,anti-lock brakes,SIR systems,HVAC,engine performance,Gm spacific. I have worked at my current dealseship since the 1990 model year anything much older than that I have limited exposure to. I do not have very much transmission experience so those question you may want to ask of another expert. When you send me a question let me know the exact make/model/engine and year for the car or suv you have it makes it easier to answer the questions that way.
Experience in the area:I have been employed by the same Gm dealer for 18 years and and a ASE master technician. I work at a Pontiac and GMC truck store. Served a a lead technician when dealership was on a team system. I just recently moved to a Buick,Hummer,Saab Store when my franschise was purchased by this dealership. Organazations: ASE master techncian Education/Credentials:High school diploma,2 year vocational school degree 2 year college degree. Associates degree in applied scineces (auto technology)Awards and Honors: GMC master techncian
Every day is a different challenge.
To be a certified master GM tech in all fields. I am relying on my employer to send me for those certifications.
American cars are built as well or better than the asian cars if they are maintained per manufactures service intervals.
I believe American cars are harder to repair then most foreign cars. They seem to get a bit to "cute" while trying to cut corners in their designs.
