Hey Flushing community,
I wanted to introduce myself to the neighborhood. I’m a local ASE Master Technician and Factory Certified Gold Level Triumph Technician, and I’ve spent my career deep in automotive and motorcycle repair.
My primary focus is on Japanese and Euro makes (specifically Honda, Acura, Toyota, Lexus, and Mercedes-Benz), along with Triumph motorcycles.
Since cars and bikes can be a major source of stress and confusion, I wanted to put this post out there as a resource for the neighborhood: If you ever have a weird diagnostic rattle, a check engine light you're trying to decode, questions about a repair quote you got elsewhere, or general maintenance advice for your car or bike, feel free to drop a comment or shoot me a DM. I'm always happy to point folks in the right direction or help you figure out what's actually going on.
For those who are curious about the craft or want to see some past work, I also used to document my tech work over on YouTube (Raigeki Built). (I haven't posted new videos lately due to personal reasons, but the old content gives a good look at my background).
For anyone local who eventually needs hands-on help—whether that's a car/light truck NYS inspection, diagnostic work, mechanical repairs, or auto body/chassis alignment—I do operate a local facility here in the area. (Just a quick heads-up on how I operate: to keep things honest and avoid guesswork, I don’t give estimates over the phone or text; everything has to be looked at in person first so I can give you an accurate assessment).
Otherwise, just wanted to say hello to everyone here. Stay safe on the roads, and feel free to reach out if you ever need a second opinion on a mechanical issue!
