Why Is Transmission Diagnostic Training Essential For Automotive Technicians? [RR 859]

Lance Wiggins, Executive Director of ATRA (Automatic Transmission Rebuilders Association), discusses the importance of training in transmission diagnostics and the evolving relationship between automotive and transmission shops. He also discusses ATRA's chapters, which encourage training and communication among members, and the association's upcoming national training event. The most significant benefit of training attending events like the ATRA Powertrain Expo is the networking that takes place. The buzz and conversations that happen between attendees are invaluable and cannot be replicated on social media platforms like Facebook or Instagram. So, rev up your knowledge and invest in yourself by attending training seminars. By doing so, you will provide the best possible service to your customers and stay ahead of the competition. <p style="line-height: 16.5pt">Lance Wiggins, Executive Director, <a href="https://www.atra.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ATRA</a>.</p> <p style="line-height: 16.5pt"><span style="font-size: 12pt;color: #333333">Show Notes</span></p> <ul> <li><strong><a href="https://youtu.be/TgCGGXFjiPQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Watch Full Video Episode</a></strong></li> <li>The Importance of Transmission Diagnostics (00:01:24) Lance Wiggins explains the integration of transmission and engine modules.</li> <li>Keeping Customers Cradle to Grave (00:05:33) Lance Wiggins emphasizes the importance of keeping customers cradle to grave and the symbiotic relationship between automotive shops and transmission shops.</li> <li>Importance of Training (00:07:35) The importance of training for technicians, especially in engine and transmission diagnostics.</li> <li>ATRA Chapters (00:09:33) Lance explains what ATRA chapters are and how they function, including their role in organizing training seminars and events.</li> <li>Building Relationships through Training (00:14:50) Lance emphasizes the importance of building relationships with customers and training professionals, and how it can ben
