About Dominic
When I was a kid, I spent all my free time fixing cars with my father. He was a journeyman mechanic who taught me everything he knew. Once I was old enough, I was eager to go to work and soon got my first job at a local independent automotive repair shop. It wasn’t long before I was a journeyman technician diagnosing drivability and electrical problems. I found my calling diagnosing vehicle issues – not only was it fascinating to me, but I was also quite good at it.
After seven years of working as a diagnostic tech, I wanted a new challenge and I applied for a job as a hotline technician for OBD3 Solutions. To my delight, I got a call a few days later to tell me I got the job!
I worked at OBD3 Solutions for nearly three years before getting my current job at ALLDATA in 2013. My favorite part about the job is while I provide many answers to tough technical problems daily, I’m still constantly learning new things. There’s always someone calling in with new tips and tricks.
On a personal note, I’ve been with the same wonderful woman for 21 years and have three energetic boys aged 13, 11, and 9 years old. As you may guess, most of my free time is spent with my family. It’s now my turn to teach them automotive tips and tricks. On weekends and time off, we love to go out of town and explore some of Canada’s great outdoors with our travel trailer and skis. (Yes, I’m one of those who love winter and snow!)
I’m proud to say that I’m part of the ALLDATA Tech-Assist Team. I can’t wait to help other diagnostic technicians in the field get those problem vehicles fixed quickly and back on the road.
