Vince Fischelli founded
Veejer Enterprises in 1985. He is a Technical Training Consultant
specializing in vehicle electrical and electronics troubleshooting
training for all segments of the vehicle service industry
(autos, trucks and heavy equipment). He is a graduate of seven
electronics schools, graduating from his first electronics school
in 1959 as a U.S Marine attending the U.S. Navy's Electronics
"A" School at Great Lakes, IL. His military career
spanned 12 years during which he completed several advanced electronics
schools and worked on the military's most advanced electronics
systems. He entered civilian life in late 1967 and began working
in the automotive repair industry at an automotive electronic
service center in Dallas where his electronics background was
applied to solving automotive electrical problems that stumped
dealership technicians.
He later operated his own repair shop from 1975 to 1980 where
he began training service technicians he hired to perform the
high caliber of electrical work he brought in to the shop. Vince
is a natural born teacher and trainer and was often called on
in the military to conduct electronic classes. It was a natural
thing for him to train the technicians he hired to work in his
own shop. His training methods were so successful that several
of his top techs he trained eventually left his company to become
lead electrical specialists for other shops of the local competition
who made his highly trained employee technicians financial packages
they couldn't refuse. After losing several technicians to other
shops he decided to close his company in 1980 and go back into
the electronics industry.
Six months later he was offered
a job at, and eventually became the technical manager of GM's
ECM remanufacturing facility in Dallas for nearly 5 years and
later set up GM's digital dash remanufacturing facility in Dallas.
In this capacity he noticed an increasing lack of proper electrical-electronics
troubleshooting training for automotive technicians was hampering
their ability to perform proper automotive computer control system
diagnosis and to correct driveability problems without changing
a lot of unnecessary parts. Most technicians he noted where just
parts changers. Repair costs were excessive and customer comebacks
where a major problem for dealerships. He was asked to provide
some training in the Dallas area for dealership technicians which
he did.
He decided to start Veejer Enterprises
in 1985 to provide the level of electrical-electronics troubleshooting
training needed in the vehicle service industry. He originally
trained at the dealership level as a private trainer but later
began to move throughout the automotive service industry, truck
service industry and heavy equipment service industry as he became
known. He is the author of more than 16 books, numerous magazine
technical articles and technical papers on vehicle electrical
and vehicle electronics troubleshooting.
He developed "The" Vehicle Electronics
Troubleshooting Workshops.
These workshops cover vehicle electronics troubleshooting for
journeyman through the advanced level. The workshops are one-day,
two-day, three-day, four-day and five-day hands-on training sessions
to teach automotive and truck service technicians as well as
vehicle technology instructors how to troubleshoot vehicle electrical
and electronic systems. He has conducted over 600 seminars and
workshops since 1985, including many in-house custom designed
vehicle electrical/electronics training programs for vehicle
manufacturers, suppliers to vehicle manufacturers and various
fleet organizations in both government and the private sector.
He developed a 60 lesson home-study
vehicle electronics training course called, "The"
Vehicle Electronics Training Course, a training program in vehicle electronics troubleshooting
technique. The course is unique in that it teaches vehicle service
technicians how to troubleshoot vehicle electrical and electronic
systems. Lessons are available in printed booklets or on CDROM.
He also
designed a hands-on troubleshooting training program called "The"
Hands-On Home-Study Troubleshooting Training Program where students perform live electrical-electronics
system troubleshooting training at home or in the shop using
his four specially designed Troubleshooting Trainer Kits:
(1) The Starter
Kit;
(2) Troubleshooting DC Motor Circuits,
(3) Troubleshooting Relay Circuits and
(4) Wire Harness Troubleshooting.

He developed the original Automotive
and Truck/Heavy Duty Electrical Clinic Training Programs for
INTERSTATE BATTERY SYSTEM OF AMERICA. He was the Electronics
Editor of the former IMPORT SERVICE MAGAZINE for seven years. He has
written and produced numerous video training tapes on electronics
for a number of vehicle manufacturers, including CADILLAC MOTOR
DIVISION, INTERSTATE BATTERIES and CHAMPION SPARK PLUG. He is
a featured speaker at industry trade shows and conventions presenting
electrical-electronics troubleshooting training for all segments
of the vehicle service industry. Vince can be contacted at the
