I was in the Automotive industry in one form or another for 42 years, Starting as an apprentice mechanic and had various service related positions, and eventually working my way to Service manager with my first employer. I eventually opened and ran my own automotive business for 18 years. We specialised in late model performance tuning as well as diagnostic work and took pride in rectifying what others failed to do.As of July 2022, I have left the automotive industry and have commenced a new career path with a large OEM manufacturer of industrial lifting equipment.
