He stayed with Harr and became a technician when he was 19; he soon matriculated in Toyota University and within a short time he became a Master Technician and the go-to-guy at Harr. He is noted in many instances as being the first technician in the country to identify a problem in a vehicle, and then he would work with engineers to identify the fixes that would ultimately become technical bulletins distributed to all dealers.
