About Autotechnique Ltd
Autotechnique was created by David Paterson, a former vehicle technician and garage proprietor with a long and varied experience of the motor and transport industries. After first training as an apprentice mechanic with a Rolls Royce garage, he completed his training as a vehicle technician/electrician with REME (Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers). David went on to build and maintain racing cars; to market remanufactured engines; and later to specialise in engine tuning. His main interest has been in 'how things work' and how to diagnose them when they don't. He's written several magazine and newspaper articles, and believes strongly in the need for training and in being properly equipped to take on the task of diagnosing faults accurately. Before forming Autotechnique, he completed more than two years of research into the vehicle diagnostic equipment market - visiting factories in several different countries, and attending factory training courses.
Autotechnique aims to help facilitate the cause of right-first-time diagnostics.
We work directly with different manufacturers of diagnostic equipment; with suppliers of technical information and data; as well as with schools, colleges and training providers, to help provide the means to accurately and efficiently diagnose faults.
Autotechnique believes in the need for:
* up-to-date equipment
* accurate technical information
* ongoing training in new technology
These are essential pre-requisites to involvement in modern vehicle maintenance and repair. Each of these has a significant role to play in finding faults, and this importance is set to quickly rise even further as vehicles become more dependent upon electronic control.
...and we think learning should be fun! You can help us help you!
