  • A professional technicians daily therapy

    I found Sean’s podcast in Sept ‘23. It’s July ‘24 and I’m 4 episodes from listening to them all. I’ve been a tech for 39 years, owned my shop for 22 years. We’ve been through it all; 9/11, 2008 downturn, Covid. What Sean provides is a voice to listen to about the struggles that we deal with everyday. Whether your a tech or a business owner there is wisdom in his words and calming tone even when it gets bad. Thanks for the therapy!

  • Detailed Real-World Information Presented by a Truly Professional Instructor

    I could not be happier to have found this podcast. Super detailed and accurate descriptions of issues, diagnostic strategies as well as the functionality of the circuit or component in question along with links to other resources. I don’t think it could be done any better!

  • Realistic Greatness!

    Great podcast! Sean is awesome and I love how he is willing to share the vehicles that kicked his butt. Too many people want to be the hero and that’s just not reality. This is one of the only automotive podcasts that I have found that focuses on diagnostics and I’m grateful for it!
