General Technologies Corp,G T C is pleased to announce the appointment of Autotechnique as distributors in France.

Autotechnique a été créé par David Paterson, un ancien technicien automobile et garagiste avec une expérience longue et variée dans l'industrie d'automobile et le transport. Après un apprentissage en tant que mécanicien dans un garage de marque Rolls Royce, il a complété sa formation de technicien/électricien dans l'armée avec REME (Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers).

Autotechnique was created by David Paterson, a former vehicle technician and garage proprietor with a long and varied experience of the motor and transport industries. After first training as an apprentice mechanic with a Rolls Royce garage, he completed his training as a vehicle technician/electrician with REME (Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers).

David a continué sa carrière en fabriquant des voitures de course; il a développé un marché de moteurs échange standard; il a travaillé comme spécialiste en diagnostic de moteurs et de carburateurs. Son intérêt principal a été le fonctionnement des voitures et le processus de diagnostic en cas de dysfonctionnement. Il a également écrit des articles techniques pour des magazines spécialisés et des journaux. David est aujourd'hui persuadé que chacun a besoin d'être formé et équipé correctement pour diagnostiquer les pannes efficacement et précisément.

David went on to build and maintain racing cars; to market remanufactured engines; and later to specialise in engine tuning. His main interest has been in 'how things work' and how to diagnose them when they don't. He's written several magazine and newspaper articles, and believes strongly in the need for training and in being properly equipped to take on the task of diagnosing faults accurately.

Avant de créer Autotechnique, il a effectué plus de deux ans de recherche concernant le marché des appareils de diagnostic; il est allé directement chez les fabricants de différents pays et a complété sa formation par différents stages chez ces mêmes fabricants.

Before forming Autotechnique, he completed more than two years of research into the vehicle diagnostic equipment market - visiting factories in several different countries, and attending factory training courses.
