Endeavor Business Media's Vehicle Repair Group welcomes Brandon Steckler to his new full-time role as technical editor of Motor Age magazine. He had been part-time technical editor since January 2019, in addition to what was his "day job" of running Steckler Automotive Technical Services, a diagnostic specialist and technical training/support company serving technicians across the globe, as well as serving as a training instructor with CARQUEST Technical Institute.
“I'm extremely excited for the opportunity to devote more time to Motor Age. This will allow me to weave myself more tightly into the fabric of the automotive community that I love so much, and to give back more than I ever could in the past. Great things to come, I promise," Steckler said.
Steckler began his automotive career at Northampton County Community College in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where he was a student of GM’s Automotive Service Educational program. In 2001, he graduated top of his class and earned the GM Leadership award for his efforts. He still instructs classes on evenings and weekends and also provides private training, telephone and live technical support for technicians around the world. He holds ASE certifications A1-A9 as well as C1 (Service Consultant) and is certified as an Advanced Level Specialist in L1 (Adv. Automobile Engine Performance), L2 (Advanced Diesel Engine Diagnostics) and L3 (Hybrid/EV Specialist) and is a certified Master Hybrid technician.
“We are thrilled to welcome Brandon to the Vehicle Repair Group," said Group Publisher Kylie Hirko.

Brandon is recognized as one of the top aftermarket trainers in the industry, and we’re so excited he has joined our team to help us in our mission of advancing the automotive service professional.”
