As ACDC wrapped up another year all of us here want to thank you for your business in 2009. ACDC had a busy year that was highlighted by adding our first employee, Theresa. People are the core of ACDC. Any business can be either a money making entity or a service that really helps others. ACDC is here to help. When I bought that funny looking Insight over ten years ago I knew the future was here. When I closed Van Batenburg’s Garage, Inc a few years later and bet the farm on his technology it was a move based as much on what was happening all around me as well as my deep belief that automobiles, particularly in America, and our relation to them was bad for this country and the world. If I could help, no matter how small that contribution might be, I knew I would be working at a job I loved in a field I knew something about. In short it fit my religious beliefs, my political views and educational background. ACDC has grown out of my vision and your support. I am looking forward to another great year.

Hybrids are popping up everywhere and ACDC is now helping other trainers learn from us so that everyone can get on board. There are 1,850,000 is the USA. 2.6 million world wide .Toyota just sold their 200,000 hybrid in Europe as of September 2009.
Did you know that the same parts that make a hybrid work are found on EV cars as well. C02 regulations are going to happen, 35.5 mpg average is now law by 2016 so most OEMs are seeing the wisdom of hybrid systems. ACDC is here to help you get into the Hybrid repair business.
Our Classes for 2010 are filling up so check them out. ACDC is as busy as ever.
Our thanks to all those of you that support ACDC. ACDC also provides OBDII, Electrical, Honda / Acura classes, AMI management classes and more. Below is an E mail I receive in October 2008: .
"Craig
I wanted to let you know that Up Your Voltage X was top-notch training. I attend a lot of training and I can honestly say that your class is the best I have ever attended. The thing that impressed me the most was the organization of it all. Everything I needed was at that hotel. I didn’t have to go anywhere for meals or travel anywhere for the training sessions. I didn’t even spend any money while I was there! Craig delivered invaluable, intense, hands-on training which was a welcome relief from some of the watered-down training that is so popular in our industry today. So I thank you for a great learning experience. Thank you for all the hard work in keeping us all content with food, shelter and everyday needs. Thank you for the dedication you both have to not only the automotive industry but to the people you take in at your classes. Sincerely, Dave Hauck"
I think the warranty is over for this one. (below) ACDC had this car at class thanks to Steve Ferron, an ACDC Instructor.
Don’t forget to remember how fortunate you are of you have a home and a family. Check out FAAT CATS. 560,000 US foster kids are not with their families because it is not safe to be there.
Hope to see you in class soon,
