With more hybrids hitting the road and most OEM’s in the game or planning new hybrids soon, when are you going to get ready? Taking this class will help you travel along the HYBRID HIGHWAY! It will demonstrate the problems shops are seeing and the diagnostic approach required to handle them. We will examine from beginning to end what the customer told the service advisor, what was done step-by-step, and the outcome.

Craig Van Batenburg, a Master Hybrid Technician, loves these cars, owns six of them and has been training techs since May of 2000 when he added hybrid technology to his Honda/Acura class. Now hybrid training is a full time job, his Honda Insight is over 8 years old.

We Will Have Hybrids at Class
New England is a hot bed for hybrid ownership and aging hybrids DO NEED service! Independent techs are working on these cars now, so don’t be left out.
