The training of technicians in the proper service and repair of mobile air conditioning systems is at the heart of the Mobile Air Conditioning Society’s (MACS) Worldwide mission. This coming May, MACS will cross the northern U.S. border to deliver two training clinic s in Canada.
On Wednesday, May 18, MACS will present a class in Compressor Replacement Procedures to avoid comebacks in Boucherville, Quebec at the headquarters of MACS member Spectra Premium. This will be a French language presentation. On Thursday, May 19, the 2011 MACS Mobile A/C Update Clinic will be presented in the Toronto area at the Hilton Garden Inn in Mississauga.
In the Compressor Replacement Procedures to avoid comebacks class, attendees will learn what you should (and shouldn’t) be doing whenever you’re bolting on a replacement compressor. Following the procedures covered in this class will help reduce or eliminate comebacks, increase customer satisfaction, and satisfy compressor suppliers’ warranty requirements.
Both Canadian clinics are evening classes to accommodate the working technician. The Boucherville clinic includes a plant tour of Spectra Premium’s production facility.
The 2011 Mobile A/C Update Clinic is an annual collection of the cutting edge service and repair information available. Topics to be covered for 2011 include:
- Case studies – lessons learned
- Compressors without pistons – an in-depth report
- Electrical troubleshooting tips
- Engine coolant update (And It’s a Big One!)
- Scanning and flashing GM vehicles
- Those weird alternator pulleys
- What’s happening with the new refrigerant
- Working on hybrid HVAC systems
- And other MVAC repair related topics will also be covered.
MACS will train on-demand at the request of interested repair facilities.
