THE DRIVEABILITY GUYS seminars:
The Driveability Guys believe the best trainers still get their hands dirty. That does not mean that a non-technician cannot train, but our experience leans towards the "Technicians teaching Techechnicians" mentality. As a result, all of The Driveability Guys are technicians. By maintaining cutting edge field experience, we believe we can deliver the most useful information to today's technicians.
The Driveability Guys offer training in a variety of venues including: Illinois EPA classes, National events, local automotive groups and customized local training sessions. Scroll down to see the classes we offer, the events we train at and the events we attend as students ourselves.

Our seminars will be offered at some of the following locations. Please check the links for dates, times, and registration details!

THE DRIVEABILITY GUYS courses: Learn the power of using a DSO as a diagnostic tool. We will discuss scope principles such as voltage, time, trigger, slope, and more. We will break waveforms from common inputs and outputs down into usable diagnostic pieces. Low current probe applications basic Ohm's law will also be discussed. 1. Master the basics of voltage, time, trigger, etc. 2. Learn to analyze waveforms from multiple components. 3. Be able to use this new knowledge to make diagnostic decisions. Scan Data Analysis for Driveability Diagnostics This class covers a wide range of information to help you understand and diagnose driveability issues with a scan tool and your mind. Focus stresses the process of elimination and streamlining your diagnostic process. The advantages of graphing scan data will be stressed. 1. Code and no code diagnostics 2. Successfully diagnose low power problems 3. Volumetric efficiency 4. Learn what PIDS can be valuable when 5. Repair verification
Our courses are listed below with a level rating. We are including this rating system to help aid you in choosing classes that are beneficial to you no matter what level you feel that you are at given a particular topic. Some courses are hard to gauge due to their content, so multilple levels may apply. The rating system is as follows:
Basic: For entry level technicians, technicians new to the particular topic or individuals looking for a "refresher."
Intermediate: For technicians with basic knowledge of the topics looking to expand. Intermediate classes refer back to the basics, introduce more advanced components and prepare students for advanced level classes (taught by us or other trainers alike.)
Advanced: For technicians who have mastered the basic level, quite often attend "intermediate level" courses and are prepared to learn and participate in detailed discussions.
