Marc-André Tremblay is a Master Technician holding a Red Seal interprovincial certification, currently running a specialized diagnostic center in the Greater Montreal area. With nearly two decades of hands-on experience, he focuses on the specific mechanical challenges posed by Canada's extreme climate, from thermal shock in engine blocks to salt corrosion on undercarriages. He is a vocal advocate for rigorous "Severe Service" maintenance schedules, educating drivers on why standard manual recommendations often fail in -30°C conditions. Marc-André frequently consults for local garages on complex diagnostic cases involving fluid dynamics and structural rust issues. His writing breaks down complex mechanical concepts into actionable advice for Canadian car owners who want to keep their vehicles running past the 300,000 km mark. He provides unbiased technical analysis on fluid choices, component longevity, and the reality of aftermarket parts versus OEM in a salt-heavy environment.
