Hi, my name is Jaime. I am now in my 40's (ugh!), have a lovely wife, two daughters, a granddaughter (she's beautiful) and a grandson (a genius, of course!). I've been in the automotive repair industry since 1979. In that time I have been a mechanic, technician, shop owner, automotive technologies instructor and much more.
I feel it's important to remember *why* I first got interested in repairing automobiles... I like to solve problems. The added bonus of fixing cars is the knowledge I am also helping a person (the owner). By questioning myself 'what if this were my mother's car?' while working on a customer's car, I maintain ambition to do the best job I can. I Hope all technicians subscribe to this attitude.
The part I liked most about repairing cars was the challenge of accurately and efficiently diagnosing the diverse problems which developed. Dealing with constantly changing technology afforded me the opportunity to avoid the boredom associated with repairs (the actual replacing of parts).
I said "liked" because now I work for Vetronix Corporation (five years & counting). I am a Factory Representative, my duties include sales and training. I work with auto repair shop owners & technicians, dealerships, schools & fleets. I assist those interested in performing high-tech, high quality vehicle diagnostics and repairs. What a satisfying and rewarding career!
