Meet Your Instructor
Hello, I'm James Parker. I have been a licensed heavy duty mechanic since 1994. Although I worked on off road construction equipment for 30+ years, I specialized in heaters and air conditioning systems. One of my jobs was to mentor younger mechanics. Since retiring, I have found that I still like teaching. I am looking forward to helping others learn the basics of what is required to maintain their own vehicle. I also serve double duty as a Driving Instructor.
