BSC shops gather training, technical and product support from Bosch
Independent repair shops that participate in the Bosch Service Center (BSC) program have access to an array of technical, training and marketing support programs that can boost their business and bottom line, according to information recently put out by the company.
Through the BSC program, Bosch helps member shops keep up with the latest technology found in domestic, Asian and European vehicles. Michael Lippman, BSC Concept Manager for Robert Bosch LLC, explains that technology is an important part of the BSC program, but not the only component.
“New systems in today’s cars require skills and equipment capable of monitoring, diagnosing, and repairing them. Within the Bosch Service Center program we provide training, along with the equipment and technical information necessary to service these advanced systems," he says. "We help prepare member shops and their technicians to properly and profitably service gasoline, diesel, and even hybrid vehicles and systems.”
This training, equipment and technical data covers key vehicle systems including engine management, electrical including starting and charging, emission control, heating and air conditioning, filtration and others. Bosch also recently expanded the BSC program to provide more detailed support for servicing chassis, suspension and wheel and tire systems, including wheel alignment.
“In addition to providing technical training and equipment for under hood and under car systems, we also offer BSC member shops merchandising and promotional support programs and materials to help them promote their shops and services,” says Lippman. “It’s our goal to be full partners with our BSC family of shops, and we take very seriously our commitment to providing top-quality parts, tools, and training needed to ensure the success and growth of all of our Bosch Service Centers.”
Owners of independent repair shops are encouraged to contact Bosch to explore the requirements and procedures necessary to become an authorized Bosch Service Center. For more information, visit www.boschservice.com.
