With so many manufacturers and hybrid models now out of warranty, it’s a good thing that we have such detailed repair information available – except that we don’t! There is rarely any detailed description of operating conditions, failure modes, known-good PID values or waveforms. And the newer the vehicle, the less likely you are to find some useful information. In the best cases you have only a symptom or code with a long flow chart. In the worst cases you’re completely on your own to figure out what isn’t right, and you have only your faulty vehicle as a reference. What you need is hybrid training that describes the wide variety of ways manufacturers design their systems, which gives you the ability to choose your own diagnostic path even for hybrids and hybrid-related systems that you’ve never worked on.
- This workshop enhances the skills of the service professional working as the
interface between the customer and the business.
- Effective customer communication and selling skills are highlighted
throughout this workshop.
- Emphasis is placed on practicing the 4C model

- Attendees are trained on how to professionally interact with their customers.
- Several role play exercises take place throughout the workshop
so attendees can practice and hone their skills.
- This workshop focuses on a light technical overview of a
vehicle’s steering and suspension system.

- The ignition system is not what it used to be. Our power plants are changing; forced induction, direct fuel injection, lean operating strategies, etc.
- These changes affect in-cylinder temperatures and pressure which require the
ignition system to adapt to maintain performance.
- Today’s technicians are required to stay up to date on the latest
automotive technologies and diagnostic strategies.
- Applying these diagnostic strategies will increase the shop’s bottom line by
reducing time spent on ignition-related repairs.
