New School: Automotive Hill's Auto Repair, Inc. Technician Training

Posted August 22, 2016 11:05 AM

Bushwood consumers are demanding. We want a safe, reliable vehicle that handles well and is comfortable to ride in. Oh, and we want good fuel economy, too. We also want vehicle repairs that are cheap, fast and easy. Unfortunately, one usually comes at the cost of the other.

Today's vehicles have made significant improvements in reliability and performance over the last few decades. They also deliver more power to Bushwood drivers more efficiently than ever before. For example, some of today's 4-cylinder engines are equal to yesterday's V-8's. Our vehicles also offer an amazing range of features that make them more comfortable and convenient than ever before.

But all of that improvement has come at a price for Bushwood vehicle owners. Our vehicles are more complicated and difficult to repair than ever before. They have numerous mechanical and electrical systems. Fuel systems are so complex they have to be run by a computer. Our vehicles are covered with sensors and high-tech electronic equipment. Our dashboards rival the control panel of the first manned space flight.

With all that complicated equipment, it's no wonder we call mechanics service technicians these days. You can't learn to repair vehicles in the backyard with your dad anymore. Today's Hill's Auto Repair, Inc. technicians have to go to school. School may come in the form of classroom instruction, online courses or both. Technicians are also trained on-site at the Bushwood service centers where they work (including Hill's Auto Repair, Inc.) to keep them abreast of constant improvements in vehicle engineering, diagnostic equipment and repair techniques.

Today's technicians need to be certified to work on our vehicles. They can earn a variety of certifications in Maryland, but the highest of these is Master Technician. It's like a graduate degree in auto repair.

Vehicle repair at Hill's Auto Repair, Inc. in Bushwood requires more than just training and certification, though. It also takes information and creative thought. Bushwood area auto service centers subscribe to data services, technical libraries and online repair communities in order to get the information they need to: work on various makes and models of vehicles, get recommended maintenance schedules, learn about non-standard features and locate hard-to-find parts in an unusual engine. They also use this information to help diagnose rare or difficult vehicle problems. Many auto repair problems also require a bit of creative thinking for the team at Hill's Auto Repair, Inc. to solve. Bushwood service technicians at Hill's Auto Repair, Inc. act much like doctors in these situations. They're given a set of symptoms, and they have to come up with a diagnosis and treatment that will fix the problem. This process becomes as much of an art as it is a science.

A proper diagnosis, even by a highly qualified technician, can take time. And a technician's time is going to cost us. It's just the price of progress.

Of course, the best vehicle care for Bushwood vehicle owners is planned preventive auto maintenance. This is also the least costly way to keep your vehicle in good repair. Regular inspections and replacement of worn parts will prevent most repairs from ever being needed in the first place.

And with the amazing complexity of today's automobiles, isn't it good to know there's someone out there with the knowledge, training and skill to give us good auto advice? Whether we need preventive maintenance or repairs, the team of automotive professionals at Hill's Auto Repair, Inc. can help us keep our vehicles on the road. We just can't do it on our own anymore.

    Got a note on my phone that it was time for an oil change at Jerry Hill's. I called, because I've learned to trust notes from Hill's; for the past ten years I've had reliable service and trustworthy service. Was in and out after a pleasant hour, and my good old 2013 car is still giving wonderful service. Thanks, Jerry and friends!
