He has 25 years of automotive industry sales experience, five of which were spent specifically in the sale of automotive diagnostics. Most recently, Pierce was a diagnostic sales developer at Snap-On Diagnostics in Georgia and South Carolina, responsible for promotions, sales, service, tech and franchisee support.
Autologic Assist differentiates itself in the marketplace based on its integration of technology. Assist combines extensive online third-party vehicle data resources and a superior diagnostic (AssistPlus) device with the talent of the Company’s Fault 2 Fix Team, consisting of 100+ dealer-trained master technicians who provide real-time vehicle diagnostic support globally.
