Definitive root-cause analysis of automotive system and component failures.
No assumptions. No guesswork.
Only evidence-based conclusions built on real-world experience and disciplined methodology.
Forensic Diagnostic Investigation
Taylor-Made Forensic Analysis
​
When the diagnosis is questioned, I find the truth.
Specializing in disputed repairs and warranty claims, I identify misdiagnosis, improper procedures, and missed root causes—delivering clear, defensible answers.
Expert Witness Services
Independent expert witness services grounded in real-world expertise.
Clear analysis. Strategic insight. Credible testimony.
Complex automotive issues—made understandable and defensible.
Elite Mentorship
Taylor-Made Techs
​
For technicians who refuse to guess.
A high-level mentorship experience focused on diagnostic discipline, critical thinking, and real-world problem solving.
This is where parts changers become diagnosticians.
Taylor-Made Forensic Analysis
Independent analysis that determines whether a claim is
valid, misdiagnosed, or unsupported.
Warranty Claim Forensics
AUTOMOTIVE FORENSIC REPORT
Taylor-Made Forensic Analysis
Not every claim is wrong—and not every denial is right.
My role is to deliver an objective, evidence-based evaluation of what actually occurred—documented in a manner that stands up under legal scrutiny.
I assess each case on its merits, identifying:
-
Legitimate component failures
-
Misdiagnosis or incomplete diagnostics
-
Improper or unnecessary repairs
-
Contributing factors and pre-existing conditions
My conclusions are independent, defensible, and grounded in real-world diagnostic expertise—not assumptions or pressure from either side.
​
I don’t work to approve or deny claims—I work to get them right.
​
In most cases, the evidence clearly establishes whether a claim qualifies—or it doesn’t.
​
Taylor-Made Techs
Advanced mentorship for technicians ready to move beyond
guesswork and into true diagnostic expertise.
AUTOMOTIVE DIAGNOSTIC MENTORSHIP
Taylor-Made Techs
Most technicians are trained to follow a process. Few are trained to think through one.
My approach focuses on building true diagnostic capability—where decisions are based on evidence, not assumptions or parts replacement.
I work directly with technicians to develop:
-
Structured diagnostic processes
-
Critical thinking and root-cause analysis
-
Proper use and interpretation of diagnostic data
-
Confidence in complex and intermittent problem-solving
The results speak for themselves.
Technicians who complete this program don’t leave doing basic service work—they move into high-level diagnostic roles, increase their earning potential, and build long-term careers. Some have gone on to mentor others themselves.
This isn’t entry-level training.
It’s a disciplined approach to mastering the craft of diagnostics.

THE MAGIC BOX
When OBD first came out, it was hailed as the magic fix in the automotive repair industry.
Honestly—what wasn’t to love? A box you plug into a vehicle that gives you a code to tell you what’s wrong.
But the box was never magic.
And the codes never told the whole story.
Somewhere along the way, the industry shifted. Too many technicians stopped taking pride in chasing down the true root cause of a failure. And now, if the scan tool doesn’t clearly point to a part, they get stuck in a diagnostic death spiral.
I AM THE MAGIC BOX.
For 30 years, I’ve systematically diagnosed and identified the root cause of mechanical and electrical failures in automotive systems. OBD is a tool in my hands—not the other way around.
A code doesn’t tell me a vehicle needs a part.
A code highlights a pathway of data.
It’s still my job to follow that data all the way to the root cause.
I AM THE MAGIC BOX.

PROBLEMS SOLVED
After 30+ years in the automotive industry, one thing hasn’t changed—some problems don’t have obvious answers.
I’ve built my career on diagnosing, finding, and fixing the issues others can’t. From complex electrical faults and CAN bus failures to drivability problems that don’t follow the rules.
Over the years, that’s expanded into mentoring the next generation through Taylor-Made Techs, helping turn entry-level individuals into skilled, high-earning technicians.
Now, I’m focused on bringing that same level of problem-solving into vehicle inspection, diagnostics, and consulting.
If you’re dealing with a vehicle issue that hasn’t been solved, or need an experienced set of eyes on an ongoing, complex problem, let's talk.
WHO CARES?
Technicians who rely too heavily on OBD, YouTube, Google, or AI eventually hit a ceiling.
Not because those tools are useless—but because none of them can think.
None of them can chase down true root cause.
NONE OF THEM CAN CARE.
They point. They suggest. They shortcut.
But they don’t take responsibility.
And that’s where the gap shows.
A real diagnostician doesn’t stop at what might fix the vehicle.
He works until he knows why it failed.
That takes discipline.
It takes study.
It takes a level of care that goes beyond turning hours.
Because it’s easy to sell six hours of labor chasing symptoms.
It’s harder to slow down, think it through, and fix the problem at its source.
One approach profits for the day.
The other builds a reputation—and a career.
The technicians who separate themselves don’t outsource their thinking.
They sharpen it.
They care about the craft and their customer.
And it shows in every vehicle they touch.
Automotive forensic analysis, failure analysis, and diagnostic investigation—delivering clear, defensible technical findings for expert witness services, litigation, and warranty claim evaluation.
