OTC Technician Challenge Tour Hits Six States

The OTC Technician Challenge is underway, offering technicians the chance to compete to win one of three Ultimate Diagnostics for Life packages.

Co-hosted by OTC and distribution partners, technicians will be challenged with random vehicle diagnostic issues and tasked with identifying the problem using OTC Encore with new Bravo 2.0 software. The technician with the fastest time at select events will receive a $150 cash card from OTC. Any technician who pre-registers and attends an event will receive a free pair of OTC technician gloves. The three fastest times nationwide will win the Ultimate Diagnostics for Life package – an OTC Encore kit with a lifetime hardware warranty and lifetime diagnostics subscription.

Technicians can register to compete in the national Technician Challenge tour by clicking here and selecting a location. Tour dates are currently scheduled in Texas, Utah, Illinois, Nevada, Oklahoma and Florida. Technicians can submit requests for OTC to host diagnostics clinics in other areas at the above link.

The tour started at Automechanika Chicago, April 24-26, and will run through Nov. 5, ending at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas.

Clinics will be led by OTC field training specialists team. The training will focus on various areas of diagnostics, including reset/relearn procedures and diagnostics best practices.
