The SuperTech Competition is New York State’s premier heavy vehicle technician event and brings together technicians to test their diagnostic abilities, hands-on problem-solving skills, determination and resolve.
The training session is taught by Master Trainer Swede Oun of O & K Truck Repairs, Ltd., certified through New York State’s Automotive Technicians Training Program, and author of numerous maintenance publications.
The competition includes both a written test and skills tests in air brakes, annual inspection procedures, coolant and DEF, cybersecurity, drive belts, electrical, engines, fasteners, hydraulics, preventative maintenance, tire analysis, and wheel end. Plaques are awarded to the top three technicians in each category as well as the overall winner. Additionally, hundreds of dollars in prizes will be awarded to the top finishers.
In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was canceled. As decisions are made regarding the 2021 event, information will be posted here.
