This course covers light and commercial vehicle maintenance in depth as well as mechanical maintenance forms and methods in general. Included are the supplies, tools, and machinery needed for auto maintenance. The training also makes clear how auto repair shops are run, structured, and how the quality of their maintenance is assessed. Also discussed are contemporary diagnostic tools and procedures for evaluating the technical state of cars, finding problems, and resolving them.

Course Objectives:

At the end of this training course, you will learn to:

· Outline the importance of vehicle maintenance.

· List and compare the maintenance forms and the strategies.

· Describe how maintenance work is organized in automotive service centers.

· Outline the job description of automotive service center engineers and technicians.

· Explain how to plan, implement, follow-up, and evaluate vehicle maintenance programs.

· Outline the advantages and tools of vehicle predictive maintenance.

· List and describe the properties of various materials used for vehicle maintenance (fuels& lubricants, greases, chemical solutions).

· Explain how to inspect and assess vehicles' technical conditions using modern diagnostic techniques and equipment.
