FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mitchell
1 Adds Thousands of New Pictures to Online Repair
Programs
Poway,
CA (July 12, 2010) Mitchell
1, a Snap-on Company, has recently added thousands of engine component and
connector photos to their Tractor-Trailer.net and Medium-Truck.net on-line
repair programs. Both programs are
updated monthly with new color photos, detailed procedural information,
diagnostics and wiring diagrams.
As
part of Mitchell 1’s on-going effort to continuously enhance and update
Tractor-Trailer.net and Medium-Truck.net, their photographers routinely visit
Universal Technical Institute (UTI) facilities throughout the U.S. UTI, a nationwide provider of technical
education training uses Mitchell 1 online programs in its curriculum and gives
Mitchell 1 access to actual component parts they use in training truck
technicians.
“Because
we utilize Mitchell 1’s online manuals in our training programs, the pictures
taken during these visits supplement existing component photos and repair
methods,” said Duane Kramer, vice president of new
campus
operations and programs, UTI. “In addition
to detailed diagrams and trouble-shooting procedures, these images help
technicians using Mitchell 1 programs correctly diagnose and repair vehicle
problems.”
Mitchell
1’s web-based repair programs provide 24/7 access to real world service
information valuable in diagnosing and correctly repairing virtually any medium
or heavy-duty truck built during the last decade and a half. Tractor-Trailer.net is used in TMC
Skills Competitions to test technicians on their ability to use computer-based
information, which is becoming more prevalent in shops where medium and heavy
duty trucks and trailers are serviced.
Mitchell 1 programs are also increasingly being included as part of truck
technician vocational school curriculums to train technicians how to use the
most up dated tools available when they graduate.
For
more information about Tractor-Trailer.net or Medium-Truck.net, call
888-724-6742 or locate an independent service representative at www.mitchell1.com. Subscribers can bundle Medium-Truck.net
with Tractor-Trailer.net if they repair both types of
vehicles.
