From Aviation Electrician to Master Technician: John’s Journey

In 1973, he honed his electrical skills as an aviation electrician after joining the Navy. He set the stage for a future focused on the intricacies of automobiles. His career path led him to a major East Coast dealership, where his strong electrical background and unwavering discipline quickly shone through.

John's dedication to learning wasn't limited to his own expertise. The dealership recognized his potential and invested heavily in his training, providing him with comprehensive knowledge of all aspects of automotive systems. This period of intense learning, combined with his hands-on experience, led John to become a Master ASE Certified L1 technician – a testament to his exceptional skills.

John's talent and leadership qualities propelled him further. He became a Shop Foreman at one of the largest dealerships in the New York Metropolitan area, overseeing a team of technicians and ensuring top-notch service. However, during his dealership years, John witnessed a recurring issue—a lack of clear communication between customers, service writers, and technicians. This frustration became a driving force for John. He envisioned a repair facility where open communication would be the cornerstone of the customer experience.

European Auto Tech Opens its Doors

With this vision in mind, John opened his first successful repair facility in central New Jersey in 1987. But his journey wasn't over. In 1996, he relocated to Tucson, Arizona, and established the European Auto Tech we know today. Over multiple decades, John has meticulously built a well-equipped facility that rivals dealerships in terms of expertise and technology but without the impersonal feel and pressure often associated with large auto repair centers.
