ASCCA What You Need To KnowDec. 07, 2015
John Modesti, president of Modesti's Car Care Center, has been a car guy since he was 15 years old and purchased his first vehicle, a used Model A Ford stored in a garage "in boxes" for $25.
"Getting it running took a while but the hands-on and hard-knocks education I got was worth it," he said. "My second car was a 1940 Ford panel truck, which I did as a frame-off hot rod."
The experience Modesti acquired working on those vehicles helped him start a career in automotive repair, becoming a Honda motorcycle technician in 1964 and attending Honda's first car clinic in 1969.
