Six Top Techs left

THE 24 semi-finalists of Top Technician have been narrowed down to just six, following an event held at the Delphi training centre in Warwickshire.

Most of the techs got to grips with the practical tests, which featured tricky problems on cars relating to body electrics, air conditioning and diesel systems. However it was a short written test that separated out the leaders of the pack.

In no particular order, the top six finalists are:

Lee Collins of Kwik Fit, Manchester

Gareth Edwards of Bangor Garage, Aberystwyth

Ainsley Mc Ewan, McEwan’s Garage, Derby

Rafal Rosielewski at Crewe Volkswagen, Cheshire

Andrew West of Erme Valley Autos, Devon

Dan Wright of Clive Atthowe Tuning, Norwich
