One of the major themes of the Federal-Mogul Motorparts stand at Automechanika Frankfurt was the introduction of its new Garage Gurus programme. This free service aims to provide comprehensive support tools for technicians, workshop owners and parts distributors.

The programme provides technical support and training through a variety of onsite, online and on-demand resources and is comprised of four main pillars, focusing on technical support:

Gurus Onsite features training courses hosted at the Garage Gurus’ purpose-built, high-tech facility in the Netherlands or at regional hubs.

Gurus On-the-Go sees a fleet of well equipped vans touring workshops to provide interactive demonstrations and teach workshop personnel about the latest tools, part solutions and technologies.

Gurus Online provides technical training through an online platform that can be accessed 24/7 to help educate and develop knowledge of automotive systems, components and maintenance. The website includes interactive learning modules, technical tips and troubleshooting video guides at the new website www.fmgaragegurus.eu

Gurus On-Call makes technical specialists available by phone or Skype to provide fast answers for product and diagnostic questions, Local contact numbers can be found at  www.fmgaragegurus.eu or via skype through: gurus_on_call.

Marijn Staal, Trade and Technical Services Manager, Federal-Mogul Motorparts said, “Garage Gurus intends to arm technicians with the latest equipment and information so they can keep pace with emerging vehicle technologies. The main purpose of Garage Gurus is to engage with and assist the mechanics with grease on their hands, the ones installing parts 9-5 each week. We believe that trained and informed technicians are the heart of the rapidly evolving vehicle repair industry. Even the most experienced technicians know that you never stop learning, so we want to be the go-to resource for technical information and support they can count on.”
