> Training by Instructor > Brandon Steckler

Brandon began his career as a student at the GM ASEP program at Northampton County Community College in Bethlehem. In 2001, he graduated top of his class and earned the GM Leadership award and began working at a Saturn dealership in Reading, PA where he quickly attained Master Technician status. He later transitioned to working with Hondas where he aggressively worked to attain another Master Technician status.

Always having a passion for a full-understanding of system/component functionality, he rapidly earned a reputation for deciphering strange failures at an efficient pace and became known as an information specialist amongst the staff and peers at the dealership.

In search of new challenges, he transitioned away from the dealership and entered the independent-world, where he specializes in diagnostics and drivability.

Today, he is the Technical Editor of Motor Age Magazine and an instructor with both CarQuest Technical Institute and WorldPAC Training Institute. Along with beta testing for Automotive Test Solutions, he continues to write for Motor Age Magazine, and develops curriculum/submits case studies for multiple training companies and international events. Brandon contributes weekly to FaceBook automotive chat groups and truly enjoys traveling across the globe to help other technicians attain a level of understanding that will serve them well throughout their careers.
