My good friend No Ca$h tells me that if you hold the control stick and c-stick towards a ledge while you are hit, and hold L before you are hit, you auto-tech? is that true? I've only heard him say it.

So, can anyone confirm this? Or am I just doing it wrong?

If you hold up with the control stick and in with the c stick, when you tech, you will do a wall jump tech and bair. Teching like this is easy, but I don't think it's 'auto.' You still need to time it a bit.

The only thing that's "automatic" is what you do with the C-stick. It's called Automatic Smash DI (because you can just hold the stick instead of tapping it when you get hit) and moves you towards the stage so you can tech off it.
There is not "auto" tech. A tech is a tech.

lol. you dont really auto-tech if you have to do something to do it. That's manual. But yeah, it makes it easier if you smash DI into the stage when you get hit. You have to hit L like 20ish frames before you get hit (i think).

Also, if you hold up with the control-stick, tech and then push Away and neutral b with ganon, you will do the scariest thing ever.

Btw, you only need to hold either the control stick or the C-stick; c-stick out-prioritizes the control stick (which is why people tend to use it for teching attacks). One example is Fox's up-B. You have to aim it with the control stick, but the ASDI from the control still will move you in the direction of your up-B. By using the c-stick (that out-prioritizes the control stick), your character will move in the direction that the c-stick is pointing at. The teching timing is the same - 20 frames before you hit the ground.

"auto" is misleading, this thread uses auto in the same sense that pushing X automatically makes you jump, or that hitting shield as you land an aerial is a way to auto cancel lag.. it's not "auto," it's by definition, yes teching within 20 frames of the attack is how you tech, and holding the C-stick in the direction you want to ASDI to ensure something to tech against can certainly help.
