PETE MEIER is an ASE CMAT, a member of iATN, and a full-time tech with CarMax in Tampa, FL. He started doing oil changes and minor repairs more than 30 years ago and brings a variety of experience to bear. His current job involves all manufacturers' lines, and, as Pete says, "provides me constant opportunity to learn something new." Diagnosing electrical and driveability problems are his favorite challenges.
