Ask: What Are Your Car Pains? ™ [RR 656]

Rob Choisser- Choisser Automotive Services, Davidsonville, MD. Rob started in the industry as an oil change/apprentice under my step-father, Bob Owens, at a Honda dealer in 1989. He worked toward certification in every course HONDA would offer and ASE, achieving Platinum Level with Honda and ASE Master Auto Technician with L1 Advanced Engine Performance. Continuing on the training and certification path I became a Maryland Vehicle Safty Inspector, a Maryland Emissions Repair Technician, and a Maryland Licensed Locksmith. In 2002 he was recruited to open a new Honda dealership as the shop foreman, this experience was paramount in igniting his entrepreneurial spirit. In 2006 he launched Choisser Enterprises, Inc. DBA Choisser Import Auto Services, a mobile auto diagnostic service. He kept this business small and flexible so he could support and facilitate his two young son's activities. Fast forward, while running this small solo operation, he became an advanced level EMT-I (Nationally, Emergency Medical Technician - Intermediate or Cardiac Rescue Technician in Maryland) and volunteered with the local fire department from 2008 until 2013 when he was offered a career position with the Anne Arundel County Fire department. He used this training and experience to relate to people when discussing their vehicle “health”. The modern automobile is more like a complex organism than one might think, each system is interdependent on the other's proper function. This decision to serve the public on a different level is when he hired his first 2 employees and in 2014 we started operating out of our current 3 bay facility in Davidsonville, MD. They have grown to 9 member team, including himself. Their goal is to keep vehicles on the road for at least 15 years or 300,000 miles and to keep our customers out of new/used vehicle debt. We accomplish this through consumer education, preventative maintenance and proactive repair processes. Key Talking Points Educate customers- relate to them and guide them where they should
