    Excellent!
    You looking at automotive only or heavy duty too?
    Do you have a job lined up?
    What are you looking for? Dealer, indy or fleet?
    Driveability, drivetrain, steering and suspension, other?
    Are you looking to relocate?
    Are you going for your ASE certs?
    As you probably know, in some areas, "good" mechanics/techs are getting harder to find.
    Especially in fleet shops.
    The last 3 field tech positions we had, only had 5 applicants qualified and took 3 months to fill.

    Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

    Every time I drive Bearswatter's Durango in Pennsylvania the front end sounds like I hit a pothole. What do you think it could be?

    Yes i had 8 ASE certs before i graduated, and they are all affective. The only one i lack for having Master Technician status is transmissions. I have decided i will take some time away from grinding at the study book for transmissions and go for my L1 cert which is a highly advanced level of engine performance. I currently just relocated here to Nashville to pursue more of the luxury lines of vehicles and currently have my eye on Porsche. Porsche doesn't have any openings at the time i moved and i needed income so i accepted a position with Acura as a basic line technician. Driveability is my strong side for sure, i was two away from having a perfect score on my engine performance ASE cert.

    If you can get the L2 cert too, it opens a lot more doors, as there are far less guys going for diesel.
    And while the A9 test is not required for the Automotive Master cert, I highly recommend it.
    Anything you can do to make you look better to a prospective employer will help.

    Nothing wrong with that.
    I started out working out of a gas station at 17 and then working on fishing vessels for my family.
    I've worked for a European Import shop, Subaru, GM, fishing vessels, logging equipment, worked as a diagnostic consultant and now I have a job that I spend as much time in the office as I do working on equipment.
    Learn everything you can and don't get cocky. No one likes a know it all.
    There is a difference between knowing what you are doing and being someone who comes off as a know it all. Those mechanics/techs who have to profess to know everything, usually don't.
    If that makes any sense.
    Being on top of the basics and understanding how things work is the key.
    If you have a full understanding of how something works, it makes it a lot easier to diagnose why it doesn't work. And you'd be surprised at how little a lot of techs no about the basic principles of electrical and hydraulics.
