Andy left school and joined the Army as an Apprentice Vehicle Mechanic. In the Army, he learned how to repair everything from lawnmowers to Main Battle Tanks.

He was always trying to improve the performance of his cars and this led to a hobby business carrying out engine conversions. This is where he began to teach himself about engine management, in the early days he would fit DCOE or DHLA carburettors in place of the Bosch K-Jet fuel injection systems. But he knew that the time would come when he would need to install the complete engine management system along with the engine. He was fortunate enough to work on some projects in the Army that provided some engine management training.

Most of his spare time was spent working out how to transplant various engines into places they were never intended for. 

Andy met Stef and they started a friendship based on various Motorsport activities. His hobby business was now more concerned with offering training courses and writing articles for some of the biggest names in the UK automotive industry. 

With his experience and qualifications Andy Crook is ideally suited to delivering Automotive training courses, he has a wealth of knowledge along with an understanding of how people learn. He designs his courses with a unique mix of theory & practical sessions that re-enforce the learning that enables quicker more accurate diagnosis.

In his spare time, Andy loves watching rugby.
