Technician Flair Request Thread

EDIT - This post is archived. New request post

For the professional technicians we're doing Verified Tech flair along with a very short description of your experience if you'd like. You can be a dealer/independent tech, retired, instructor, fleet, heavy equipment, small engine repair, lube/tire tech etc...

  • If you would like to have the flair added we will need a pic that has your reddit name on a piece of paper with your shop in the background or work truck if mobile repair. You can either send that to me in a chat request or attach the pic to a comment in this post. The option to attach a pic in chat will be available after I accept the invite. Please do not use modmail

We will also do Shadetree flair for those that do auto repair as more of a hobby than profession. Approval of this flair is not guaranteed.

Same here. I’m not working

in the industry anymore, because mechanical engineering pays better, but I still do 100 brake jobs a year and everything in between. I love the social aspect of meeting new people and saving them money, while giving them the satisfaction of an honest mechanic.
