how I become a Vehicle Diagnostic technician through nairaland
This a story to inspire others and believe in themselves.
I join nairaland in 2009 immediately after my NYSC.In 2010 i got a job with #30,000 salary i took up the job and i never for once leave nairaland homepage from my system.
i learn a lot through different sections and i learnt all these .web design,photography,mini importation
in 2011 i started visiting this section auto/car talks,topic and comments from these great men and video on youtube transform my life and make me to be away from job sites.
i started to read topic and comments from this section{Sienna,Ikenna,Egunmogaji,Nurey,kingreign,car doctor,Gazzuz,luvinhubby and many others} and i never regretted this.
Fast forward to 2014 i spoke with Electrician that use to repair my car that i want to know more about cars{he does not have a single scanner}
I spent 3months with him then I resign from my office job& i bought my first scanner launch creader v11,with passion and focus couple with reading of automotive ebooks and video from youtube change
my life,a year after i bought different kind of tools;Autoboss v30,X300pro3,X100 pro,Toyota Techstream,VAG,Delphi,mini zed bull,ONdemand5,Alldata E.t.c
I move to better apartment with my family,sold my old car and rebuild an abandon car as a project and now i drive the car.I do fix hydrid car also and i have done 5 toyota hybrids car without complain from my customer
my advice to young&old graduate of Engineering field if you don't have a good job or u are looking for a better things do,find your way to vehicle diagnosing and repairs
all you need is focus and passion to do it now,Get a mini scanner,multi meter and alldata software and find someone in your vicinity or visit car talk sections
and you will never regret this.If I can do this in my early thirties married with kids and a graduate of Elect/Elect no excuse.

You see why its good to read. Most of these mechanics dont use scanner. At 2011 i couldn't differentiate carburetor from injector
I diddnt know what compressor looked like
I never knew steering pump and tierod
I never knew what an obd looked like
But now i dont even know any mechanic workshops
I do most of the maintenance myself. Unless its too heavy its when i call for help. As for me i am my own mechanic.

People say owning a car is expensive to maintain. If you have knowledge of maintenance, youll be surprised that a 2005 corolla costs less to use than a 5kva generator.

I use a 1992 landcruiser and i have read so much, in just 6 months i had it, i have fixed a lot.
Factory says its 11mpg but when i followed some forums and downloaded some manuals i get 15/16mpg.
Most of theses mechanics perform sabotage. I showed a mechanic how to bleed brakes.

Been a DIY helps
