The TST 14th annual Technician Training Big Event will be held on Saturday, March 25, 2017 — rain, snow or shine.
Three seminars, manuals, a newsletter, hot breakfast, lunch, soft drinks and snacks will be offered throughout the day for $75.
Over 400 shop owners and technicians have already signed up along with 20 plus vendors.
Top instructors at the event will include NAPA's Tom Ryak, ATSG's Wayne Colonna and WorldPac’s Mark Warren, with a keynote from iATN’s Scott Brown. The seminars — which will cover underhood diagnostics, transmission diagnostics, tools and equipment usage and more — come with full-color readable training materials and a TST color newsletter.
Each year, the training program aims to help techs stay current with diagnostics and repair procedures as vehicles become more complex. More than 360 shop owners and technicians attended the 2016 event.
“With new vehicles being so technically advanced, it’s now more important than any time before to stay updated so you and your business do not evaporate,” says G. Jerry Truglia, president of TST.
Rayk will lead "Electrical World Class Diagnostics," a seminar that covers needed electrical diagnostic techniques without the OHMS law and other formulas. He will perform actual diagnostic tests on stage with a camera so the class can participate. Learn the fastest way to perfom VD testing and many other techniques that will speed up your electrical diagnostics.
Colonna will lead "CVT Dirvability Diagnostics." Understanding how a CVT works is necessary so they can be properly diagnosed. There are several different designs on the road today, with each having their own unique principles of operation. This session will identify them and go over their differences.
The training costs $75 — a savings of more than $260 from previous years — thanks to the support of event sponsors, including Motor Age. Other event sponsors include AirSept, ATS Automotive Test Solutions, ATTS, FAIRSIGHT, Drew Technologies, Flo-Dynamics, GTC General Technologies Corp., LAUNCH, CPS, Neutronics, Run Rite, BG Lubri-care and others.
