My name is Mike Navarra & have been in the auto/repair industry since 1980. I  worked at a service station in high school & then attended Denver Automotive & Diesel College graduating with an associates degree in diesel technology in 1985. I worked for several dealerships including Jaguar , Porsche , Audi & Volkswagon after graduation. I had a few years where i worked on marine diesels , then several independant shops before opening my own shop specializing in foreign cars in 1997. I have been Master ASE certified since 1986 with L1 since the early 90's. On the personal side i live with my Beautiful Wife Denise & our 5 cats on The North Fork of Long Island.I enjoy fixing cars , riding bicycles & kayaking. I look foward to being a part of the Autonerdz forum. (Mike)
