Every advanced diagnostic tech knows the pain of re-diagnosing a complex issue months after solving it the first time. Experience only pays off if you can actually retrieve the fix when that exact same vehicle rolls back into your bay.
In this premiere episode of Motor Age's Technician Level Up, we move beyond the physical tools and focus on the mental frameworks that make you a more efficient technician. Turning wrenches is the easy part; the real money is made by working smarter and capitalizing on your past wins.
This video breaks down a streamlined system for building your own digital diagnostic journal. Instead of relying on service info that only tells you how a system should work, you'll learn how to build a highly searchable database of how systems actually fail. We cover how to quickly log the crucial details of your toughest fixes so you can stop wasting hours starting from scratch and instead jump straight to verifying.
Stop giving away your diagnostic time for free. Start building your database today and ensure your expertise actually pays you what you're worth.
