MUST WATCH!!!!! SCRS Presents: The Hidden Dangers of Vehicle Technology, Improper Repairs and Your Liability

Matt Diagnostician Minnesota Posted   Latest   Edited  

I got this sent to me by Jorge Menchu.

It's 2 hours.

It's worth it.

The discussion talks about following procedures as well as modification(s) and the liability the SHOP may be faced with.
