Ryotech - He is a powerseller on the forum.

Never had any issues with his work. When I make an appointment and I go there, he works on my car and my car alone.

do most of the work yourself, pay only for what you dont have the tools to do....

save money, buy tools and keep and open mind to learning

and most important, dont be a lazy f*ck

Johnny from Quick Whip.. never had any of these problems. Why do they need to own where they work? People can't rent?

Sup guys

Is automotive electrical a good field to get into?

And is there anywhere locally that does training? Or would I have to shadow some random mechanic in the bamboo?

Ted_v2 · Postby **Ted_v2** » November 24th, 2016, 6:45 am

Nesc has a basic auto electrical program, good starting point imo. But unless you are highly skilled in diagnostic work auto electrical eh making sense.

Take a look at South Main Auto channel on YouTube. They do some in depth diagnostic work. Not just change sensors and clear check engine lights

Scanner Danner also has an excellent channel with a book and video lectures.

Yep. Trinidad needs people on that level. 95% of mechanics does just read codes and change sensors even though they aren't bad. Can't properly understand what the heck is the problem.

Get that skill and continue upgrading urself and your tools and. You have a permanent job

Ash and vid auto in caroni savannah road....expert mechanic....

dude2014 · Postby **dude2014** » November 24th, 2016, 8:51 pm

Peter in Grant Trace, Beaucarro, but he has too many vehicles right now - Technician
Frankie Boodoo in Ramlal Trace, Warren - Suspension. Got scr.... on a job once. still goes by him.

I have a whole fleet of mechanics working on my car/van/truck.
Why? Somewhere along the line they fail.

Recently my gyul had to help me bleed the brakes on my primera P11 and that was about 7.00pm.
Went by the mechanic the next week to take out the piston and clean the area behind it.
Jackass mechanic takes out the caliper and wanted to pound out the piston!!!!!
I lost it ......... If Nissan wanted it done that way they would have written it down in the owner's manual.
I made him put it in and I started up and used the servo to pump its ascot out.

if it ended there I would be grateful. No serious guys ......
He wanted sand paper to clean the piston. It really was muck and I took my fingernails and started to clean.
He was pissed at me for his stupidity.

Better me than you all, as I am trained in auto mechanics, just not practising.
His boss wanted to hire me though.
Could spot their BS as soon as the though enters their cortex.

This is the best thing. If you do stuff on your vehicle you'll learn more of why there is a service interval instead of popping the air box and seeing the filter warped cause it's so dirty the engine tried to suck it in.

Something else caused the problem that the scanner pointed to. So I bought a new part but the problem was still there.

Can't complain about his work environment and professionalism though.
