Diagnostics for working technicians and business owners.
Scanner, lab scope, drivability and electrical classes, hands-on, taught in person at a shop or dealership near you. Hosted by reps for their customers, and by shops, dealerships and fleets.
No theory for its own sake.
We pioneered and teach procedural-based diagnostics: real problems from real vehicles, worked hands-on in class, so the procedure comes back to the shop with you.
In-person instructor, start to finish
One instructor, in the room, from the first word to the last. Ask the question there and get the answer there.
An evening, a day or two evenings, close to home
The three starting classes run as one session with mini hands-on. Every class runs full-length, as one long day or two consecutive evenings, with full hands-on. All at a shop, dealership or meeting room in your area.
Scanner and scope, front and center
Scan data, scope captures and test procedures, in a room of 10 to 25 technicians so everyone keeps up.
Start with the scanner. Work up to the scope.
Every class stands on its own, but most technicians take them in this order.
Step into the Scanner Operations World, or Diagnostic Operations
Everything your scan tool can tell you, before you pick up anything else.
Lab Scope Operations
Never run a scope? The 101's of Lab Scope Operations first. Then the scope goes to work on real circuits.
Advanced Lab Scope Waveforms, or Analytical Diagnostics
Reading what the capture says, and building the case for the fix.
Next Level Diagnostics and the Think Tanks
Harder cases and deeper systems: G.D.I., VVT/VCT, diesel, OBD-II data modes, body electronics and more.
Stuck on a car? You don't have to wait for the next class.
Work through a problem vehicle with one of our instructors: scope patterns and scanner data analyzed in real time, while you work on the very car. Yearly, monthly and pay-per-use plans.
Good to have ready
- Year, make, model and engine
- The complaint, and when it happens
- Codes and freeze frame data
- What you've already tested, and what you found
- What diagnostic equipment you have
- Scope captures or screenshots, if you have them
Host a class. Bring your people.
Reps put on most of our classes for their customers; shops, dealerships and fleets host private ones for their own technicians. Anywhere in the United States and beyond: you provide the room and the people, we bring the class.
Nothing near you yet? Ask your rep to host one, or ask us.
What a host gets
- Your choice of class and format: an evening session, or full-length
- Sign-in on tablets or by QR code, no paperwork
- A roster and headcount after the class
- Your customers in one room, with you as the host
More than a class.
Customized facility training, fleet consulting and training on site, business solutions for the shop, technical support and troubleshooting, and product development and evaluation for the companies that build the tools.
Who asks for it
- Shops that want the diagnostic side to pay
