Automotive Video Innovations (AVI) and RepairPal have announced a joint effort to offer solutions for today’s service shop owners in their growing need for training and to expand their customer base.

RepairPal independently certifies auto repair shops nationwide for superior training, quality tools, fair pricing and a minimum 12-month/12,000-mile warranty program. AVI and RepairPal say their collaborative training effort will provide shop owners with a clear, convenient roadmap to stay current with AVI’s excellent online training courses.

Chan Patel, the director of sales at RepairPal, said “Training is no longer an option. It’s a requirement to have a successful business and provide the best service. People want high-quality at fair prices. RepairPal focuses on helping consumers locate the very best shops.”

Patel added that, “A RepairPal certification helps a shop stand out from the competition. If you’re able to differentiate yourself with a third-party certification, it lends much more credibility to your story. We interact with hundreds of shops that are interested in staying current on car repair. RepairPal found AVI to be an excellent resource for shop owners looking to provide outstanding education for their technicians and service advisers.”

Paul Louwers, AVI’s CEO, added, “Our core business is training materials based on current technologies in the automotive aftermarket. We’re covering topics that range from management to technical diagnostics, to scan tool usage, presenting our content online and making it accessible 24/7 so that a shop owner or technician has everything they need in one place. AVI is more than simple courses online; it is a complete training academy for technicians and shop owners.”
