Testimonials
Mike is the consummate professional who always searches for the reason why. When the diagnostic tables repeat themselves, Mike applies critical thinking, knowledge, and experience to solve some of the most complex issues of today’s technologies. Because Mike is involved with late model products he is often pioneering new diagnostic techniques that later would become the standard for what we do.
Joe Pierucci, Global Business Strategy Director-RetiredFord Motor Company, Dearborn, MI
There is no better training available anywhere. Mike also being a working technician adds a priceless value to his classes because he keeps up to date with all the latest technology and repair trends.
Doug Ross, Director of Business DevelopmentSCR Heavy Duty, Springfield, MO
Mr. Cleary applies logic and fundamental knowledge of automotive systems to free you from the diagnostic flowchart and allows you to diagnose the most complex of problems. You see past your tunnel vision and get the job done. His in-depth, insider knowledge of vehicle electronics systems gives you an opportunity to successfully diagnose and repair these vehicles with a minimum of effort. I highly recommend these courses.
Chuck Walker, Technical Training ManagerJM Equipment Inc, Fresno, CA
Mike teaches what is a solid foundation: a very deliberate and thoughtful approach to components, systems, and diagnostics. Very refreshing and very helpful!
Jim Wilson, Professional Technician Seminar DeveloperStandard Motor Products Inc, Long Island City, NY
Hi Mike! Every penny I spent going to your classes in Houston has been paid back in spades. Three 8 hour classes worth every penny.
Patrick Carroll, Owner/TechnicianPaddy's Autoworks, Quitman, TX
NW Fuel Injection Service has been using Mike Cleary’s training for more than 10 years now. We attend his classes regularly – our newer staff for the education, and our senior staff for the refreshers and updates. The content is updated regularly to remain current with industry best practice, and we find his tips and tricks very useful – which shortcuts work, and which will end up costing more in the end.
Gord Reid, OwnerNW Fuel Injection Service, Surrey, BC, Canada
Make sure you go, the guy is well worth the travel expenses!
Bill Van Orden, Owner/Technician/Technical ConsultantBill's Service and Technical, Tempe, AZ
You won't regret it. Mike has a wealth of expertise and knowledge from the real world to share. The tips and tricks alone are worth the price of entry.”
“His training comes from the real world, earned and learned the hard way. He knows and is completely comfortable with the content and I wholeheartedly endorse his work with complete confidence that active participants have some great learning opportunities. I can tell the difference between instructors and techs who know their stuff inside out and can handle impromptu or awkward questions and the "pretenders" who rehearse content, but can't answer questions.
Martin Smith, RSE, TQ, PID, InstructorGeneral Motors Product Service Training, BC Institute of Technology, Burnaby, BC, Canada
Mike Cleary is by far the best trainer I have worked with. He has clearly dedicated his life to learning everything he can about Ford engines so he can turn around and pass that knowledge onto others. The tips and tricks Mike will teach you are not published in any service manual. After attending a class of his I guarantee you will be asking when you can sign up for the next one.
Mara Godding, Business Development RepresentativeD&W Diesel, Cross Plains, WI
It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.
