Federal-Mogul Motorparts is expanding its “Garage Gurus” footprint across the U.S. The company is opening four additional regional training centers in Atlanta, Baltimore, Dallas/Fort Worth, and Rancho Dominguez, Calif., next week, the company said. 
“The Garage Gurus concept has been extremely popular in each of our initial markets,” said Dan Ninivaggi, CEO of Federal-Mogul Motorparts. “The demand for technical education and advanced product support at the shop level has never been greater. I believe it is our responsibility as a leading manufacturer to help these front-line professionals better understand, diagnose and repair the latest vehicle technologies.”
Federal-Mogul launched its first regional Garage Guru’s locations in Bronx, N.Y., St. Louis, Mo., and Skokie, Ill., in April. The company said it plans on opening an additional eight Garage Gurus training centers this year.
Garage Gurus is part of the company’s Tech First initiative aimed at strengthening the automotive service industry’s support of the front-line professionals who repair and maintain vehicles. Each Garage Gurus training center includes multiple vehicle repair/training bays equipped with the latest tools and is staffed by more than 100 ASE certified Gurus, Federal-Mogul said. Operating out of these garages are also Gurus-On-The-Go product technology vans that will visit repair shops and technicians throughout each region.
