LONG BEACH, Calif. – DENSO Products and Services Americas Inc., a division of leading global automotive supplier DENSO Corp., is adding three new training classes to its wide selection of automotive repair courses. The classes expand DENSO’s Technical Training Program, developed to ensure technicians have the diagnostic and troubleshooting expertise to repair vehicles efficiently and correctly the first time. 

The following classes are joining DENSO’s roster in 2017: Advanced Circuit & Electrical Testing, Evaporative Emissions Systems and Ford Engine Performance. With these new seminars, DENSO offers a total of 42 classes under its Technical Training Program.

“Quality training goes hand in hand with quality replacement parts,” said David Shushereba, director of DENSO’s Product Development, Engineering, Quality and Service Group. “We are committed to helping technicians service cars and trucks quickly and accurately so customers can rely on a job well done when they pick up the vehicle.”

More than 16,100 technicians have completed one or more courses since DENSO established its Technical Training Program 11 years ago. The full-day and half-day sessions use a “shop-up methodology” emphasizing instruction-led hands-on training.

DENSO’s programs teach technicians to rule out all operational and functional conditions first. This approach results in the least amount of invasive testing to save time and money and prevent the replacement of good parts.

“We train technicians to understand vehicle systems and isolate the root cause of a system fault to fix a vehicle right the first time,” Shushereba said. “This ensures the customer gets the best service and the repair shop gets the best return on investment on labor and inventory.”

For detailed information on DENSO’s Technical Training Program or a comprehensive program guide, contact Deanna Willcoxson at (310) 952-7424 or [email protected]. Visits can be arranged for companies interested in learning more about a specific class.
