SCRS to Cover the Cost of Membership for Collision Repair Education Foundation Schools

The group said this will give the society the chance to expand communications within the technical education sector, providing a more direct opportunity to acquaint students with the viability of today's collision repair industry as a place to build a satisfying, long-lasting professional career.

PROSSER, Wash. — As part of its ongoing effort to support industry education, the Society of Collision Repair Specialists (SCRS) announced at its board meeting held during the 2010 SEMA Show that it will begin picking up the membership cost for educational facilities that provide a collision repair vocational or technical program.

This offer is effective immediately to all schools that complete the Collision Repair Education Foundation‘s online School Solutions Survey.
 
SCRS currently counts a handful of vo-tech schools among its membership, but said it hopes this offer will increase the number of schools that become active SCRS members. The group said this will give the society the chance to expand communications within the technical education sector, providing a more direct opportunity to acquaint students with the viability of today’s collision repair industry as a place to build a satisfying, long-lasting professional career.

The Purge: Flushing & Filling the Coolant

This job isn’t needed as often as it used to be, but it’s still important.

The Purge Flushing & Filling the Coolant

If there’s any doubt to the importance of a coolant flush, let there be none. Simply put, engine coolant is a chemical. As it breaks down, it becomes increasingly acidic, leading to eventual corrosion on all the metal, plastic and rubber parts in the system.

The most misleading part is the color. Just because it may still look new doesn’t mean it acts that way. By the time coolant loses its nice hue and turns brown and rusty, it’s already years past what the service interval should have been, and it’s doing some serious damage to the cooling system. This is why it’s important to flush coolant at regular intervals.
