im also planning to extend my school to training the philippine based mechanics .the exposure needed for them to be more competitive when it comes to using the latest test equipments available today.

to name a few equipments ;
scanner ,smoke machine, labscope, ac service station and the proper use of technical info

Two thumbs up to you Bambino

Where do you plan to set up your school?

[bambino]

french tower,

im looking to put up my school in and around paranaque area and right at the moment ,we're working out with an agent to find us a warehouse preferrably along the main road .

i have all the equipment need on hand and just the place i'm looking for and of course the support that the tsikot community will give

this is some kind of a short course training to all car owners and aspiring mechanics to the seasoned mechanics that are willing to find out and learn what's the latest techniques and equipments are available today .


thanks for the response and more power to you.

Very nice idea and concept. Suggest that once you open your school, have it accredited by TESDA so your graduates will also be certified. Just asking, what is the brand of your scanner, lab scope? I worked previously as a Technical Sales Supervisor with a local Snap On Tools Distributor and I'm very familiar with the operation of these equipments. Besides. one of our sister company is Monark Foundation Inc., which offers automotive technology training courses, complete with modern equipments and facilities. Its about time to re-educate and train our local auto mechanics/ technicians most particularly with modern electronic controls and proper usage of tools and do away with the usual practice of hula-hula, trial and error, tantiameter method of diagnostics to the detriment of customers. Try to visit randomly any car service shops and you will be sometimes dismayed how they troubleshoot and perform repairs without the proper tools and equipments.

nickriingen,

thanks for the very encouraging inputs.

my snap on scanner is the SOLUS one and the labscope im using is the PICOSCOPE and loaded with FIRSTLOOK sensor capable of performing the unimaginable tests like ;

electronic relative compression tests on all vehicles including diesels. can be done in few minutes with a print out

fuel injector rail tests

misfire diagnostics through the tail pipe

all sensors can be checked and verified


CAN BUS validity verification tests

and a lot more

the AC service station is made by MAC TOOLS it recovers,recycle, and evacuate the system automatically.

this comes with electronic leak detector YOKOGAWA

the SMOKE MACHINE that's the latest in the market right now it accurately tests vacuum leaks on intake systems,EVAP systems ,power doorlock systems and a lot more.


what you just mentioned is very true ,that our techs are lacking the exposure needed for them to be competitive locally and i will add , internationally.

but the only thing they have to do is to keep up to date .

yes i will definitely go through your suggestions ,and i thank you again for the inputs .

Cool beans. You'll definitely need TESDA accreditation... and beyond that, you can probably tie up with local shops and the local government in your area for livelihood programs.

Let us know when you're set up!

Wow, great stuff!! The last Snap On diagnostic equipments I handled is MT 2500 Scanner Set and Microvat Electrical System Tester. I think you are the only one who has a Solus Set here. Is that loaded with Asian Cars Software (not US version Asian Cars with VIN)? In case you have already located a site for your proposed school, kindly post it here your full address and contact numbers so I can drop you a visit on my free time. My previous colleagues at Monark Group are one of the best local mechanics in town when it comes to diagnostics.

I like the idea, specially for me who know nothing about cars except the most basic ones, like check the fluids and learn to feel and listen to the engine. It would be nice to know a little so we won't get scammed by others.
