Hi! I'm Peter F. Meier, aka AutoServiceTech. I am a certified Master Auto Technician in Tampa, Florida and have over 30 years experience in the field.

In addition to repairing and servicing cars full time, I also teach advanced automotive skills at a local technical school. I also write technical articles for MotorAge magazine, our industry's oldest trade publication and have 2 books published, with a third in the works.

If that weren't enough, I also maintain AutoServiceTech.com, an informational site for anyone interested in auto repair and maintenance. I invite you to visit me at http://www.autoservicetech.com. There are sections for the professional and the car owner, and I'm sure you'll find something helpful.
