Background
Since 1999 I have had my own repair shop in Belchertown.
Born and raised in The Netherlands (aka Holland ) I have vast experience
working in Dutch garages.
After moving to the U.S. in 1994, I took several courses at the
"Council of Advanced Automotive Trainers" (C.A.A.T) which made me the proud
owner of the following specific Massachusetts certificates:
- Fundamental Inspection Repair System Training (F.I.R.S.T.)
- Emission Diagnostician Graduate Education (E.D.G.E.)
- Enhanced Emission Gas Theory
- Oscilloscopes
|
I am also ASE certified in the following:
- Suspension & Steering
- Brakes
- Electrical/Electronic Systems
- Engine performance
- Heater and Airconditioning
- Automatic Transmissions/Transaxles
- Engine Repair
- Manual Transmission
|
The combined set of certificates qualify me as a:
MASTER TECHNICIAN & EMISSION SPECIALIST.
Most recently I acquired a very complete computer-based handbook that contains
information about the technical details of any brand or type of car. Information
by itself does not add much value. But learning how to use it does! That's why I
now am a "Certified Alldata automotive information specialist".
A substantial number of my customers were referred to me by satisfied customers or friendly mechanics.
Since this is a one-man-shop the overhead is low which translates back in the prices.
And the customer service is very personal. I take pride in assuring the repair or
maintenance is a quality job.
Satisfied customers are my best advertisement.
