They will learn the different methods of removing structural components for replacement and reinstallation, and learn to analyze vehicles using scan tools to perform pre- and post- scans of vehicle computer systems. Diagnostic trouble codes will be analyzed to diagnose and repair vehicles to pre-accident condition.
