Mitchell 1 announced it has added thousands of engine component and connector images to its service technician programs, Tractor-Trailer.net and Medium-Truck.net.
According to Mitchell 1, a Snap-on Company, their photographers routinely visit Universal Technical Institute (UTI) facilities throughout the U.S. to create new content to keep the sites frequently updated.
“Because we utilize Mitchell 1’s online manuals in our training programs, the pictures taken during these visits supplement existing component photos and repair methods,” said Duane Kramer, vice president of new campus operations and programs, UTI. “In addition to detailed diagrams and trouble-shooting procedures, these images help technicians using Mitchell 1 programs correctly diagnose and repair vehicle problems.”
According to the announcement, Mitchell 1’s Web-based repair programs provide 24/7 access to real world service information valuable in diagnosing and correctly repairing virtually any medium- or heavy-duty truck built during the last decade and a half. Tractor-Trailer.net is used in TMC Skills Competitions to test technicians on their ability to use computer-based information, which is becoming more prevalent in shops where medium- and heavy-duty trucks and trailers are serviced. Mitchell 1 programs are also increasingly being included as part of truck technician vocational school curriculums to train technicians how to use the most up dated tools available when they graduate.
