How to become a best car technician, especially for the certified
technician who already owns the repair skills and experience, the answer
is one keyword “Learn”. Learn is every important and necessary for a
car technician.
1.Learn the newest automobile information
The car industry keep a fast speed of develop, there are an increasing
number of car-related news spring up every second, to be a better car
technician, we are supposed to access to the up-to-date car information,
including the newly-born car models and their features, spotlight and
more. Why we have to know this? There are two reasons: one reason is you
have to know these before your customers (car owners) drive the new car
to ask you for maintenance, the car technician is supposed to know more
than a car owner; another reason is there are always newer repair tools
which cover newer cars, only know more newer cars can you know how to
use the tools to diagnose them.
2.Learn how auto mechanics has changed to a high technology field.
Although classic cars requiring mechanical repair remain, today's cars
operate using computerized and electronic systems (ECU), this is
evidenced by an authoritative website analysis of more than 160,000
repairs made on vehicles with check-engine light problems in 2012.
Automotive technicians must know a lot about how the various parts of an
automobile work together.
3.Learn to use car diagnostic tool to diagnose auto problems.
Today’s car tend to be OBD / OBDII protocol certified, and require OBD diagnostic tools
to test, including: read out and erase trouble codes (DTC), read live
data and even programming. Therefore, if you are already an experienced
mechanic, you are also supposed to keep learning the modern diagnosis
way.
4.Learn from others
I think you can learn from other car technician from these ways: your
friends, your competitor, book, youtube video, car repair forum, answer
site and blog.
5.Professional morality is very important
Here are always some negative report and comments about the garage for
kinds of reasons, the common reason they most complain is that some
repair man will misdiagnose their car but charge them money, or charge
them much higher than it is; or the car’s parts are not needed to
replace but the repair man replace and charge them a big bill.
UOBD2.NET remains you, when the garage charges you too high, rationally judgment is very essential.
