LANSDALE, Pa. -- This coming May, MACS will cross the northern U.S. border to deliver two training clinics in Canada.

On Wednesday, May 18, MACS will present a class on Compressor Replacement Procedures to Avoid Comebacks, which will be held in Boucherville, Quebec, at the headquarters of MACS member Spectra Premium. This will be a French language presentation.

On Thursday, May 19, the 2011 MACS Mobile A/C Update Clinic will be presented in the Toronto area at the Hilton Garden Inn in Mississauga.

In the Compressor Replacement Procedures to Avoid Comebacks class, attendees will learn what should (and shouldn’t) be done when bolting on a replacement compressor. Following the procedures covered in this class will help reduce or eliminate comebacks, increase customer satisfaction and satisfy compressor suppliers’ warranty requirements.

Both Canadian clinics are evening classes to accommodate the working technician. The Boucherville clinic includes a plant tour of Spectra Premium’s production facility.

The 2011 Mobile A/C Update Clinic is an annual collection of the cutting edge service and repair information available. Topics to be covered for 2011 include:
 
• Case studies – lessons learned
• Compressors without pistons – an in-depth report
• Electrical troubleshooting tips
• Engine coolant update (and it’s a big one!)
• Scanning and flashing GM vehicles
• Those “weird” alternator pulleys
• What’s happening with the new refrigerant
• Working on hybrid HVAC systems
• Other MVAC repair-related topics

MACS will train on-demand at the request of interested repair facilities. Visit the association's online training calendar at www.macsw.org under the training topic for the most current list of scheduled clinics.
