Congratulations to Ernesto Saldaña Jr. For His Master Certified Accomplishment!

Ernesto Saldaña Jr. recently completed his ATRA Masters Program and received his Master Certified Plaque. ATRA recently contacted Ernesto to find out more about him. See below:

I have been in the transmission Industry for over 30 years. I started in the R&R position and moved my way up to lead builder. For the last 10 years I have been a manager, running the day to day duties that a shop needs to be successful in all areas including cleanliness, consistency and confidence.

My favorite transmissions that I like to work on are behind diesel engines, heavy duty custom builds. I have two great children, Ernesto III & Elexis.

Congratulations again to Ernesto Saldaña Jr.! ATRA is proud of his dedication and commitment to excellence in the transmission industry. Professional development is a key factor for all successful shops.
