UK Subaru Master Technician for the third year

Our very own Chris Harrison (pictured far left) was the UK’s sole finalist and one of 14 countries taking part in Subaru’s two-day competition in Japan. This was Chris’ third title as UK Master Subaru Technician and his second trip to the world finals.

 

“The opportunity to travel and compete in Japan for a second time was brilliant”, said Chris, who has been with Derek Slack Motors since 2011.  “The competition was extremely difficult including written tests and  troubleshooting issues, deliberately planted in Subaru vehicles. The competition was mentally draining as identification and problem solving was against the clock.

 

Dealer Principle, Tony Slack commented, “We’re all very proud of Chris’ achievements, being recognized both nationally and internationally as a master technician is an incredible honor for both Chris and the Derek Slack Motors team. Chris’ incredible Subaru knowledge makes Derek Slack Motors, the number one destination in the UK for Subaru servicing and that’s official.”
