Congratulations to these students, their teachers Mr. Books and Mr. Mills, and FHHS!
For the competition, students were required to do a minimum of 20 hours of training at a sponsoring dealership to learn factory service information and to use the scan tool. They had to take the student ASE test for Electrical, Brakes, and MLR. Then, during the competition, they had 2 interviews with local dealers and had to present their resumes. Students had a total of two hours to diagnose two major faults and complete a 27 point inspection. The 27 point inspection normally has several common issues to resolve, like low washer fluid or damaged wiper blades, on top of the major faults. While doing this, the students also had to complete a thorough write up in Alldata service manager to include the 3 C’s: Concern, Cause , & Correction.
