Short videos bring proven concepts, processes, tools and the latest technical information to your computer, phone or tablet. These are developed to help with onboarding new personnel or offering a seasoned employee (managers, techs and sales) with an opportunity to grow and be challenged. This library is designed to put consistent content into the
hands of both sales and techs so that there is redundancy in identifying potential issues before the vehicle is driven into the shop, racked and lugs removed.

The next stage is our L.I.T.E. program. Taking the on-demand videos and using them in a live virtual class with an instructor and other students has shown to improve not only retention of knowledge, but also builds a comradery and a bit of competition to see who can achieve higher test
scores and become a leader in their organization. We often see this course bring out a renewed excitement that can be seen in our testimonial videos.
