    Hired a master tech shouldn’t he know which bank is 1 on 05 maximum

    Put bank 2 cam sensor in to correct a common problem with these cars and tells me Alldata had the picture wrong. I checked, did not. Had car for 3 weeks for the same codes 340 I finally had to fix it. Master Tech can we revoke his license

    I’m not sure what PA’s requirements for technician licensing are, but in Michigan, no. At least not without some sort of state investigation and proof of criminal activity. Sorry Wayne but there is no law against ignorance and complacency. Unless he is your brother in law (even if he is!) maybe it’s time he moves on.

    Really, 3 weeks?

    Wayne,

    Sounds like a big oversight on the techs part. Perhaps just didn’t look close enough on Alldata. What did he say when you confronted him on what Alldata actually states?

    I will also comment we have had a horrible time finding good technicians. Don’t know how the tech pool is where you are but I might be inclined, if this was just an oversight, to give the live and learn talk and move on.

    One thing that all shop owners should learn and remember early on is

    that some techs “have it” and others do not…and there is gradual scale

    between the two extremes.

    This is more of a “gift” thing that never will significantly change for

    a tech. It can’t be taught.

    For me they have to be somewhere on the upper half of the scale.
