The automotive industry is changing faster than a dual-clutch transmission, but many tech school curriculums are still stuck in the era of paper clipboards and carbon-copy forms.
While students are learning to tear down engines, they’re missing the single most important skill modern dealerships are looking for: The Video Multi-Point Inspection (MPI).
At Surfwrench, we’ve perfected the “Digital Handshake.” Here are the top 5 reasons your school needs to plug our Video MPI Training into your curriculum—before your graduates get left in the dust.
1. The “Hire Me” Factor: Brands are Obsessed with Video
Major automotive brands are no longer suggesting video inspections; they are mandating them. When your students walk into a dealership for an interview, being able to say, “I am already certified in professional Video MPI delivery,” moves their resume to the top of the pile. You aren’t just teaching them to fix cars; you’re teaching them to be the “Plug and Play” employee every Service Manager is desperate to find.
2. Potential Earnings: More Clicks = More Commission
The math is simple: Transparency equals trust, and trust equals sales. Technicians trained in the Surfwrench style see a massive jump in their Average Repair Order (ARO).
- The Surfwrench Advantage: We teach students how to film a “No-Brainer” video that makes it impossible for a customer to say no to a necessary repair. More approved work means a bigger paycheck for the tech on Friday.
3. The End of the “He Said, She Said” Nightmare
One of the biggest stresses for new techs is having their integrity questioned by skeptical customers. Video MPIs provide an undeniable visual record of the vehicle’s condition. By teaching students our specific filming and communication techniques, you are giving them a digital shield that protects their reputation and the shop’s liability from day one.
4. A “Plug and Play” Curriculum for Your Instructors
We know your instructors are busy. We aren’t asking you to reinvent the wheel. Surfwrench offers a fully-integrated, plug-and-play curriculum that fits right into your existing programs. We provide the framework, the best practices, and the technical “know-how” to turn a student with a smartphone into a high-earning diagnostic pro.
5. Customization: Built for Your School’s Brand
No two tech schools are exactly alike. Whether you specialize in heavy-duty, performance, or general repair, Surfwrench can customize our training modules to fit your specific facility and student needs. We partner with you to ensure your graduates are the most tech-savvy, “future-proof” technicians on the market.
The Bottom Line is, If your students aren’t learning how to sell their work through a lens, they’re only learning half the job.
