Matt Allen believes that in order to compete in today’s ever-changing and complex automotive industry technicians not only need to have the hands-on skills of auto repair, but they need to have the education and knowledge as well.

All of the technicians at Virginia Auto Service are required to be certified or going through the educational classes necessary for certification.
“It’s quite a commitment to earn these certifications, and it really makes a difference in our ability to fix today’s cars with their complicated systems. You really need to know what’s going on,” says Allen.
