It’s important, when you have parts replaced on your car that you use good, quality parts. It’s also important, whoever is installing those parts, that they know what they’re doing. To ensure that they have the proper knowledge to go with the right parts, it’s vital that they have the training that will keep them ‘up to date.’

Once, the back-yard mechanic could get away with working on a car, to a point. Those days are over. Now, new cars are more complex than ever. Just as a hammer, a screw driver and some wrenches are only the beginning of the necessary tool list when working on a new car – computerized equipment is also essential to auto repair today – the extent of knowledge required of auto repair technicians has increased exponentially.

Experience is vital for an auto repair technician today. But, training is equally vital, if not more so. That’s because things keep changing. Auto manufacturers keep advancing the systems that control the operation of your car. This requires auto repair technicians to continually take training courses so their knowledge keeps pace with changes auto manufacturers make to cars.

A truly qualified auto repair technician is probably taking additional classes and training every year. Some of the classes they may take could include:

• Moog Chassis Training Technical Seminar
• Delphi Product & Service Solutions
• National Institute Automotive Service Excellence …
• Engine Repair training
• Manual Drive Trains and Axles Training
• Engine Performance Training
• Standard Motor Products Tire Pressure Monitoring System training

There are other courses and seminars that an auto repair technician will want to take. These are a sample of the seminars they may have taken. The point is that auto repair technicians cannot rest on their laurels; they have to continue striving to be the best.

They have the tools they need to do the job. That includes hand tools, electronic tools and training and seminar tools. Make sure your auto repair technician is using them all.
