The Decision Maker

Why I decided to be a diesel technician.

Ever since I was little I was into too taking things apart and learning how they work. Started with taking apart toy cars and electronic devices. I got into cars and trucks when I was around 5 years old. I was more into the looks of them rather than the performance back then. I would see a cool looking car and think that’s sick looking. Not realizing that it was a slow car made to look fast. After years I started to get into the performance side. You know finding the limit of engines and how much you can push them past those said limits. Figuring out when the car would break traction going around a turn at high speed. Then running that situation through my head trying to figure out what mods I could do to push it even more. After a while it became an addition. I joined the diesel program because diesels are what move the world. Also the factor that you can make good money in this field and diesel engines always surprised me with the fact you can make serious power with few mods. I joined to learn as much as possible in this field and apply it to the outside world. After school I plan on working for a company like Fyda. While working there I plan on starting my own business. My business will be like a normal garage. You know normal mechanic work but also have a heavy focus on high performance, body fab, and paint. Also making parts in house. That is my goal for my future. I have a soft spot for 4 cylinder engines. Yes everyone sales that if you want to make power go with a v8. But they are wrong. When you have a 2.0l 4G63 pushing a 1000+ whp that shuts ups the v8 fan base. This is want I’m aiming for. I’ll go against society and proof you wrong, just need time and money.

Technician and Mechanic are Different?

A diesel technician and a diesel mechanic are two very different jobs. A technician is someone who diagnosis vehicles. They find out what the root cause of a problem is. Most of the time it is something electronical that causes a problem in today’s vehicles. A mechanic replaces the parts that the technician diagnosis as bad. Mechanics are the ones that get dirty replacing parts. Mechanics earn between $17 an hour to $26 an hour, while technicians earn $20 an hour to even $40 plus an hour. I would rather be the person finding the problem staying clean and earning more money.

My Future Goals.

Frank Ocean said “Work hard in silence, let your success be your noise.” That is my motto for life. Working hard in silence and proving everyone wrong who doubted me. One goal after I graduate is to open my own high performance shop. After working at a company like Fyda to gain experience. I want to open a shop out of Logan, Ohio, but there are some problems with that. Mainly because it’s a small town that doesn’t have a huge high performance scene. My plans for the building include

1.      7 bay shop

2.      4 car lifts

3.      A all wheel drive dyno to measure horsepower

4.      CNC mill to build my own parts

5.      A merchandise store.

6.      Finally a parts inventory that would put Autozone to shame.

I believe that I will succeed if I work hard and dedicate myself. Maybe I’ll end up as famous as Real St. Performance.
