Philippe Rufolo Auto Mechanic

À l’École de l’Automobile, si tu travailles fort, alors tu apprendras beaucoup. Les quatre heures de cours par jour passaient très vite et je serais resté plus longtemps. Cet horaire m’a toutefois permis d’occuper un emploi pendant mes études.

La bonne base que je suis venu chercher à l’École m’a donné le goût d’aller encore plus loin en faisant éventuellement des cours de niveau avancé au CPA. J’ai particulièrement appris beaucoup sur l’électricité, l’électronique et l’utilisation du scanneur. Maintenant j’aimerais en savoir davantage sur la transmission.

Mon professeur Michel a été excellent et je tiens à le remercier. Merci aussi à toute l’équipe pour tout ce que vous avez fait. Les 22 semaines de ma formation ont passé très vite et soyez certain que je reviendrai vous saluer !
