CHRISTIAN BURNS
Owner/Operator
Christian has had a passion for trucks since he got his first Tonka truck as a child. He has since worked for just about every Ford dealer on the North Shore and is well versed at Diesel Truck Repairs and he is honest, fair, and knows his stuff!
The Senior Master Technician designation is reserved for technicians who have gone to the greatest lengths of the Ford Training Curriculum.
Since it’s inception in 1999, only a small percentage of Technicians have achieved this level of accomplishment. To achieve Ford Master Technician status, one must complete 550 hours of schooling, pass multiple certification exams and be a Ford Technician for at least 5 years.
Christian has maintained this level of commitment for over a decade. Due to the extensive process, the number of Ford Senior Master Technicians in the area is limited. Christian is in an esteemed league which benefits the entire Last Stop Diesel Team as well as our customers.
As vehicle technology progresses, it requires increased levels of knowledge and skill for technicians to effectively complete advanced diagnostic and repair operations. The accomplishments Christian brings to the table demonstrates Last Stop Diesel’s support and commitment to highly trained personnel.
While an ASE-certification is the norm for most auto mechanics, there are those technicians who choose to go a step further and receive their master qualifications. While ASE-certification measures your technical skills, master-level certification is broken down into 6 main sections: automobiles, collision repair, medium-heavy trucks, school buses, transit buses, and truck equipment. In order to maintain a master-level certification, auto mechanics must pass a variety of specified tests to demonstrate their competence. Along with having the requisite work experience, master technicians must re-certify themselves in their specific ASE section every five years, or risk losing those certifications.
