General Motors service technicians have the unique opportunity to become World Class Technicians in the GM Service Technical College program."

"Thomas has the rare qualities it takes to become a World Class Technician - dedication, commitment and most importantly a passion for the work he does. His career choice is more than just a job," says Robert, Service Director at South San Antonio Buick GMC.

To become a World Class Technician, Thomas completed more than 540 hours of training and achieved ASE and GM Master Technician certification in eight technical categories, including:
