| 25 May 2007: Snap-on, brand leaders in diagnostic tools, software and information for the automotive industry, has announced the second in its series of highly successful TechEd seminars, the first of which has attracted well over 5,000 participants over the past 12 months.
The first in the series of TechEd seminars focussed on ‘Diagnosing Intermittent Faults’. Delivered by Snap-on’s specially appointed team of Diagnostic Product Specialists these proved extremely attractive to UK technicians and already strong demand has built up for this second series.
Open to all technicians, not just those using Snap-on branded equipment, Snap-on’s Diagnostic Product Specialists are now delivering these informative and educational seminars designed to appeal to every level of technician from all workshop types at 55 locations around the UK. They are conducted at a nominal charge of £40 - which includes a £20 Snap-on Tools voucher, refreshments and copies of the seminar notes and hand-outs. Each presentation lasts for approximately 2 hours.
The second seminar in the series of TechEd seminars is about to get underway. As the result of technician demand the new seminars will have the working title of ‘Advanced Diagnostics Information’. Subjects to be covered include: Oscilloscope Diagnostics – how can it help me?; Misfire Detection via On-Board Diagnostics; Quick Accurate Diagnostics through Current Ramping; Real World Case Studies; What are very latest developments in diagnostic technology?; PID Triggers and System ID Mode.
“In the fast moving world of vehicle diagnostics, as our first TechEd seminar has proved, time is precious, and keeping up to date with diagnostic techniques and technology can be difficult for the modern technician,” explains Terry Smith, European Marketing Manager of Snap-on Diagnostics. “At Snap-on we have always been committed to providing the best quality products, information and training for the modern technician and this second in the series of seminars has been specifically based upon information / requests gathered from attendees at TechEd Seminars around the UK and Ireland.
“Snap-on offer three levels of hand-held diagnostic equipment: the impressive top-of-the-range Snap-on MODIS diagnostic platform and information system; the Snap-on SOLUS colour graphing scan tool; and the original Snap-on Scanner, our entry level product to diagnostics which has already achieved sales of over 350,000 worldwide.
“The key to the success of our offering is the ability to keep the product always up to date through the introduction of new software downloads, delivered via ScanBay direct from the Snap-on Dealer van. These software upgrade bundles enable Snap-on customers to be kept right at the cutting edge of vehicle diagnostics at all times.
“Our team of Diagnostic Product Specialists have now been successfully working with the 400+ Snap-on Dealer network to enhance the diagnostic competence of garages through these technical education seminars aimed at teaching technicians the practical skills they need in order to address real world diagnostic problems which they regularly face. At £40 per person our seminars are great value for money as proved by the fact that over 5,000 UK technicians have already made the decision to attend. In fact word of mouth reports are leading to ever increasing requests for attendance and continuing demand for our ‘Diagnosing Intermittent Faults’ seminars means that these will be continued for the foreseeable future. ”
