About Me

My photo
Jordan Woodley
Officially I have been in the automotive trade for twenty years. But I started tinkering with engines at a very early age. I have had an obsession with anything that involves internal combustion starting with the outboards on my Grandfathers fishing boats to leading to dirt bikes and early VWs and hot rods. During my 20 years in the trade I spent five years at a VW/Audi/Honda high performance shop before moving into a role as a diagnostic technician at a very busy small shop in Langley. I also spent a brief period at the dealer level. I have recently moved into a role as an Automotive Instructor.
