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.

I currently lead technician/ teacher at locally own shopHello from utah. I’m dustin 29. Been working on vehicles for 14 yrs. Just got into diag. First auto job when I was 16 at a machine shop tearing down engines. Now I work at Master Muffler doing any and everything. Safety and emissions certified in light and heavy duty vehicles and air brakes, motorcycles, atv side x sides and whatever else needs to be on the road. Starting to do diag and it’s a bit different to find problems rather then being a parts hanger, lube tech or a tire guy. That’s for sure.

Hello Everyone!
My name is Brad K and I am an Auto Body Repair and Refinishing Tech. While I am not certified or trained in Mechanical repairs I am basically self taught at Mechanical and while I am sure I have no where near the knowledge of most of you that are either techs or certified I am more then capable of doing most diagnosis and repair of light to medium mechanical repairs…Where I fall short is knowing how to diagnose major mechanical problems and usage of the newer diagnosis equipment. Plus cause I dont have a lot of the diagnosis tools I am forced to diagnose things the old fashioned way…which in my opinion is a diagnosis form that is kinda lacking in training now days.
Anyhow…Nice to meet you all and look forward to talking with u guyz and picking brains here and there if and when needed.
Finally, if anyone has any auto body questions feel free to hit me up as that is where my real expertise is at!
