Your Curriculum Teaches the “Why.” We Provide the “How.”
Your program excels at teaching students the critical theory behind a thorough vehicle inspection—the ‘why’ of automotive diagnostics and repair. Students graduate with a deep understanding of vehicle systems.
But in today’s service lane, technical skill is only half the equation. The other half is communication.
Our training provides the ‘how’: the practical, step-by-step process for documenting findings on video, communicating with clarity, and building the trust that defines a modern automotive professional. We give your students the soft skills and digital proficiency to apply their technical knowledge effectively from their very first day on the job.
The Gap Between the Classroom & Service Lane
Top dealerships are looking for more than just skilled technicians; they are hiring well-rounded automotive professionals. While your program builds the essential diagnostic and repair skills, we provide the modern communication training that turns a great technician into a highly sought-after new hire.
The most advanced service lanes now operate on a foundation of digital transparency. The ability to professionally document and clearly communicate findings via video is a key differentiator. Technicians with this skill are not just fixing vehicles—they are building trust and becoming the face of the modern service experience.
By integrating Surfwrench’s Video MPI training into your curriculum, you give your students that immediate competitive advantage. They will graduate with the in-demand digital skills that leading employers are actively searching for, making them more marketable, career-ready, and valuable from day one.
Training Developed in the Service Lane, Not Silicon Valley

We’ve taken the principles and techniques he perfected and distilled them into a curriculum that instructors can use to bring real-world scenarios into the classroom, preparing students for a successful career in the modern service lane.
Each training package includes lifetime access to the following:
