My name’s Matt, I work at a Dodge dealer in Orange County, CA. Specialize in body electrical, HVAC, and double as a back-up brake guy when those two techs are swamped. Went to Saddleback College for years before finally jumping into the industry, and continued to go for the odd class here and there. I have all four automotive certificates from the school, as well as a Master ASE Auto Technician cert and a Chrysler Electrical Master certification. Only a couple training courses away from a Chassis Master as well. I intend on getting my L1 in the next couple years, but seeing as I do virtually no driveability work, it’s on a back-burner.
Sometimes I entertain the idea of becoming a heavy duty diesel tech, but then I think about how heavy that stuff is, and that it’s usually very dirty (Moreso than I like to deal with), and the desire passes.
