Technician Certification
The absolute highest level of accomplishment for a Toyota Technician is Master Diagnostic Technician (MDT). Think of the MDT as the "Dr. House" of the vehicle service and repair world. These are the guys who can find the problem and fix it when no one else can.
They are the true geniuses of modern auto repair.
At Earl Stewart Toyota we have five Toyota Master Diagnostic Technician (MDT) technicians, with one additional technician that has passed the test and is on track to be recognized late 2013.
That will put us at six MDTs!!
To put this in perspective, if a Toyota dealership has one Master Diagnostic Technician it is big news.
At Earl Stewart Toyota, we have five!
