This forum is started by suggestion from one of the forum members, SpawnedX. The idea behind it is to have a place where technicians can talk about their experiences and ideas concerning their careers and profession. Think of it as sort of an extension to ETCG1 were we talk about things that concern us and the automotive industry. This is for technicians only so please don’t post automotive questions here. If you are a technician welcome to this forum, if not please stay behind the yellow line. Perhaps we can start by introducing ourselves.
I’m Eric Cook aka EricTheCarGuy. I’ve worked as a professional technician since 1996 and have been an ASE master technician for the past 15 years. I worked for Acura at the dealer for about 8 years and spent the rest of my time working at aftermarket shops on both imports and domestics. I’m also an Acura certified master technician which I got as a result of my training at Acura. For a brief time I ran a Carx after I lost my job at Acura, that was interesting and challenging in many ways but I did work with some good people there and learned a lot about running an automotive business as a result of that experience. Now I have a successful auto repair show on the internet as well as a successful website and forum. To be honest my favorite job so far has been working as ETCG, it seems my entire career including my termination from Acura has led me to this place and I could not be happier with the result. I suppose that just goes to show you never know where you’re going to end up.
Welcome to the Technicians Only forum, I look forward to getting to know you and your work better.

Hi!
There’s an autoforum on facebook. “Automotive Technicians” I spend most of my time there. I deal mostly on fuel injection systems on trucks and bus as well.
Hope you like it.

Hi to all. I am a Mercedes tech and have been for the last 15 years. I started working on Mercedes when I was 17 years old at a indy shop for Mercedes. I have been working for Mercedes dealer as a master tech sense 2003. I am the only tech at my dealer that works on the Mercedes SLR. I do everything from light bulbs to rebuilding v12 engines and transmission. I have two working stalls and one dead stall. the shop see about 80 to 100+ cars a day. I have a lot of fun doing what I am doing but it has its bad days and its good days. So if anyone needs help with a Mercedes just drop me a line and I will do the best to help you.
Curt.
