Mike Anderson of Collision Advice to host free monthly webinars
Trainer and consultant Mike Anderson of Collision Advice will host a new series of free monthly webinars, entitled “Learn to Research, Research to Learn,” throughout 2018 designed to help shops more easily research and find OEM collision repair procedures. Most of the webinars will include an automaker representative, and attendees will have an opportunity to text in questions during the live webinar to be answered by Anderson or the OEM representative.
The webinars will educate attendees on how to use the OEM websites and resources to find answers to collision-specific topics.
Anderson has long been a proponent of shops checking OEM repair procedures for every job, and believes far too few shops are doing that.
“Once you understand the automakers’ websites and begin using them, it becomes a much faster and easier process, and these webinars will help shops do that,” he said. “Repetition is key.”
The first of the free monthly webinars will focus on Toyota’s Technical Information System (TIS), and will be held at 2 p.m. (Eastern) / 11 a.m. (Pacific) on Wednesday, February 21. To register, visit https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/5230791717390299138.
