SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Nov. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Garage
Gurus®, the first-of-its-kind national training platform
from DRiV™, has expanded the number of training courses that are
accessible to technicians online. Available now are over 110
e-learning sessions, covering topics from piston-to-tailpipe:
including brakes, chassis, drivability, engine and sealing,
ignition, heavy-duty, as well as complete ASE-certification
preparation classes.
Garage Gurus eLearning online is a way for technicians to
sharpen their skills, or pick up new ones. Designed as a
convenient option for techs who cannot attend any of the Garage
Gurus classroom training sessions, courses are available online 24
hours a day, seven days a week, so they can be accessed according
to each tech's schedule and need. For example, in the "ABS
Braking" class, technicians can learn about the types of antilock
braking systems and key components; antilock braking system
controls; and antilock braking system operation. If a tech
needs to sharpen his or her skills in preparation for an
ASE-certification test, Garage Gurus has several courses that
provide the relevant content for the test. Topics range from
engine repair through transmissions, suspension and steering,
brakes, and even electronics or heating and air
conditioning.
"With cars becoming more and more advanced, it may be difficult
for some techs to keep up with all the latest technologies, so it
remains our goal to give them an informal way to access training,
at a time and place that is easy for them," said Michael Proud, vice president, marketing.
"A small investment goes a long way toward learning a lot, and
Garage Gurus remains committed to helping technicians develop new
techniques and abilities to provide the best service possible to
their shop customers."
In addition to its online classes, Garage Gurus offers onsite
and on-demand instructional classes, regularly scheduled at the
state-of-the-art Garage Gurus technical education centers located
in 12 U.S. markets: Atlanta;
Baltimore; Boston; New
York; Chicago; Dallas/Fort Worth; Houston; Rancho
Dominguez, Calif.; South
Florida; St. Louis;
Suburban Detroit; and Van Nuys,
Calif., with new locations opening in Mexico City, Mexico; and Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 2020. Garage
Gurus similarly will visit repair facilities and educate techs on
the latest repair tools, replacement part solutions and technology
using its fleet of product technology vans.

Safe Harbor
This release contains forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements include, among others,
statements relating to our plans to separate into two independent
companies. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number
of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
materially differ from those described in the forward-looking
statements, including the possibility that Tenneco may not complete
the separation of the Aftermarket & Ride Performance business
from the Powertrain Technology business (or achieve some or all of
the anticipated benefits of such a separation); the possibility
that the acquisition of Federal-Mogul or the separation may have an
adverse impact on existing arrangements with Tenneco, including
those related to transition, manufacturing and supply services and
tax matters; the ability to retain and hire key personnel and
maintain relationships with customers, suppliers or other business
partners; the risk that the benefits of the acquisition of
Federal-Mogul or the separation, including synergies, may not be
fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; the
risk that the acquisition of Federal-Mogul or the separation may
not advance Tenneco's business strategy; the risk that Tenneco may
experience difficulty integrating all employees or operations; the
potential diversion of Tenneco management's attention resulting
from the separation; as well as the risk factors and cautionary
statements included in Tenneco's periodic and current reports
(Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K) filed from time to time with the SEC.
Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place
undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of
actual results. Unless otherwise indicated, the forward-looking
