Garage Gurus, DRiV’s national training platform, has expanded the number of training courses that are accessible to technicians online.
Available now are more than 110 e-learning sessions, covering topics including brakes, chassis, drivability, engine and sealing, ignition, heavy-duty, as well as complete ASE-certification preparation classes.
Garage Gurus eLearning online is a way for technicians to sharpen their skills or pick up new ones. Designed as a convenient option for techs who cannot attend any of the Garage Gurus classroom training sessions, courses are available online 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so they can be accessed according to each tech’s schedule and need, the company says.
For example, in the “ABS Braking” class, technicians can learn about the types of antilock braking systems and key components, antilock braking system controls and antilock braking system operation. If a techs needs to sharpen their skills in preparation for an ASE-certification test, Garage Gurus has several courses that provide the relevant content for the test. Topics range from engine repair through transmissions, suspension and steering, brakes, electronics and heating and air conditioning.
“A small investment goes a long way toward learning a lot and Garage Gurus remains committed to helping technicians develop new techniques and abilities to provide the best service possible to their shop customers,” says Michael Proud, vice president, marketing.
In addition to its online classes, Garage Gurus offers onsite and on-demand instructional classes, regularly scheduled at Garage Gurus technical education centers located in Atlanta; Baltimore; Boston; New York; Chicago; Dallas/Fort Worth; Houston; Rancho Dominguez, Calif.; South Florida; St. Louis; suburban Detroit; and Van Nuys, Calif., with new locations opening in Mexico City, Mexico; and Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 2020.
Garage Gurus also will visit repair facilities and educate techs on the latest repair tools, replacement part solutions and technology using its fleet of product technology vans, the company says.
