• Radiator Service/Repair
  Columbia was home, so I was soon back working for a small independent shop doing line tech work, radiator repair, and restoration-fabrication. Our team all went through VISION Hi-Tech Training and took all the night classes we could to keep up with the ever-changing automotive landscape. Those techs encouraged me to start on my ASE certifications. After a couple of years, I had my ASE Master Technician patch: I had the experience and passed the exams over A1 Engine Repair, A2 Automatic Transmission, A3 Manual Transmission and Axles, A4 Suspension and Steering, A5 Brakes, A6 Electrical/Electronics, A7 Heating and Air Conditioning, A8 Engine Performance, and L1 Auto Advanced Engine Performance Specialist. By 1998, I put that training to work as a line tech at a local dealer on Mercedes Benz, Cadillac, and Mazda.

Tires

• Tire Rotation
  Poor wheel alignment can place unnecessary strain on your vehicle’s steering and suspension components and severe damage to these parts could result in expensive repairs down the road. It is best to conduct a wheel alignment inspection along with a tire rotation on or at the initial indication of premature or uneven tire wear. In some cases, it may be best to also have your tires replaced if they are too unevenly worn.
• Tire Repair
  But I had a problem: I could not get over the need in our industry for more skilled techs. So with my wife’s buy-in, I quit my job and took a teaching contract an hour north of our home. I was back in a high school Auto Shop classroom! For ten years, I taught teenagers everything from electrical and high-tech computer systems and engine performance to the basics of brakes and tire repairs. They say you never really know a subject until you teach it to others; they’re right. In order to fully teach those systems to students, I had to dig in and fully understand all of each system – how each functions – not just the repair or service of that system.

Note that there are certainly other circumstances, such as poor alignment, which may cause your tires to age faster and need replacement sooner. At Custom Complete Automotive, along with our replacement services, we also sell name brand tires to make your tire replacement service as stress-free as possible.
