A division of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: FDML), Federal-Mogul Motorparts manufactures and supplies a broad portfolio of popular replacement products – including ANCO® wiper blades, Champion® spark plugs, Fel-Pro® gaskets, MOOG® steering and suspension components, Sealed Power® engine parts, and Wagner® and Ferodo® brake products – that are specified and installed in thousands of U.S. repair businesses each day.
“There is tremendous demand for high-quality technical training and product support that are both accessible and affordable for today’s front-line repair professionals. Garage Gurus is the first program of its kind nationwide to address this need,” said Dan Ninivaggi, CEO, Federal-Mogul Motorparts. “We are confident that area professionals will rely on this facility to help advance their careers by mastering the diagnostic and repair requirements related to each new generation of vehicles.”
Accessing critical diagnostic and repair information and related skills-based training has long been a challenge for the nation’s nearly 220,000 automotive repair businesses. Garage Gurus answers this need through more than 100 onsite, online and on-demand courses taught by Federal-Mogul Motorparts’ 100-plus ASE-certified “Gurus.” Each course is offered in English and Spanish languages.
Area technicians, shop owners and others got a first-hand look at the modern diagnostic equipment and other resources available in the new training center, located at 2121 Paulhan Street in Rancho Dominguez. They also inspected two of Federal-Mogul Motorparts’ Web-connected “Gurus-On-The-Go” product technology vans, which travel among regional repair shops, providing technicians with problem-solving solutions, technical assistance and local training.
The new training center is the seventh of up to 15 Garage Gurus locations scheduled to open this year. The training network is already operating in Atlanta; Baltimore; Chicago; Dallas/Fort Worth; the Bronx, N.Y.; and Van Nuys.
