My brother Ken Copeland was recently featured in Canadian Technician! Ken is a mechanic at Dufferin County Auto Centre, a very skilled mechanic I might add. He was interviewed for an article about the value and importance of your tools. Today Ken left for Las Vegas to go to a huge week long mechanics convention. When he gets back he’ll have lots of photos to put up on his blog, check it out next week some time. Ken constantly uses his skills and time to bless us by constantly looking after our car to make sure that it is in fine running order. Here is Kens quote in Canadian Technician:
Ken Copeland, a 22-year-old technician at Auto Centre Dufferin County, in Shelburne, Ont., has been in the trade for less than five years, but he has a tool chest that many veterans would envy. He got it for a great price from someone who was leaving the industry. The collection was recently appraised at $72,000. “It’s the thing of greatest value that I own,” he says. “I figure I should get it insured – not just for the peace of mind but also for my bank, so they know what kind of collateral I can bring if I want to buy a house or a car.” He says knowing the value makes him all the more determined to protect them. “Fire… theft… you worry about it a bit. This building is pretty secure but you never know what can happen,” he says. “And then what would I do? I can’t come up with $72,000 overnight.”
