James Meyer will demonstrate how Toyota’s Fix it Right the First Time philosophy pays off. Hence our claim that Toyota Collision Repair & Refinish doesn’t cost, it pays. This will be accomplished through a presentation on a typical non-structural/structural repair challenge, in which some repairers might guess at the right thing to do instead of planning the repair using skill and information resources learned during instructor-led training.
Topics include:
- Checking for hidden electronic damage
- Repair planning using TIS (Toyota’s Technical Information System) to eliminate guess work
- Identifying metal types and strength ratings and reparability criteria for making more informed repair decisions
- Identifying applicable Collision Repair Bulletins to validate and support required procedures
- Identifying occupant safety priorities for making critical repair decisions
- Identifying structural repair precautions to avoid costly and potentially dangerous repair errors
- Welding precautions and specifications for proper welded component replacement
- Structural sectioning procedures and specifications and how to access Toyota instructor-led and web-based training and information
This session will conclude with a Q&A featuring Toyota's Eric Mendoza, Dan Hodges, Joseph DiDonato and Agustin Diaz.
