An Interview with Lorenzo Watson, Auto
Technician at Modern Nissan >

Lorenzo Watson used to watch his father work on his own car, so he grew up
learning about cars and what makes them run. These days, he says, due to the
modern technology used in building the cars, it's virtually impossible /or an
untrained person to work on 'their own car maintenance.
Q. . Besides learning from your father, what other training did you have to become an

I went to Forsyth Tech and studied .Diesel Maintenance, since I was interested in trucks at the
time. When I graduated, jobs were hard to find in that field, so when Modern Nissan offered
me the chance to learn to work on cars I jumped at it. I've been here eight years now and
Modern still sends me to the Nissan Training Center in Norfolk, VA, once or twice a year,
for week -long training courses on various subjects such as the engine, transmission
and differential. " ? .
i
Why is it so difficult nowadays for someone who's hasn't had that training to work on
a car? ;V- /? '7' v'~j ? .? : '. *

Q.
Cars nowadays are extremely high tech, with hundreds of electrical components , There
are a tremendous number of procedures that you have to go through just to do
something that used to be relatively simple - such as setting the idle speed for instance. If the
exact procedure is not followed the car could end up running totally opposite of what it should be
What would you recommend for someone who's car is just not running right?
Bring it to a factorij-trained technician!! We work on nothing but Nissans all day, so we get really understand
I can't tell you how many times I've seen someone come in here and say, "I just took my car down' the street
have my timing set and it just isn't running right". Usually it doesn't take us long to fix it!
