For shops
Already run a shop?
I'll show you how to keep the key and programming work you've been sending out.
This is training at your shop, with your techs, built around the vehicles you actually see. Full day or half day, quoted on the call.
Dealer software
Set up and taught at your shop
When a car needs programming your aftermarket tools can't finish, that job leaves your shop. I'll get the dealer software your shop actually needs set up, then train your techs to use it on the work you see every week.
- Manufacturer accounts, approval and access
- Laptop and J2534 pass-thru requirements
- Programming workflows, module setup and replacement
- Resets, relearns and manufacturer-level diagnostics
MAKE YOUR TRAINING INVESTMENT BACK IN AS FEW AS 2 JOBS.
Key work
Bring routine key work in house
Most shops pay an outside locksmith for routine key work. I'll show you how to source, identify, cut and program the keys you see most, and which cutter and programmer are worth buying and which aren't.
- Key types, blanks, FCC IDs and part numbers
- Legitimate sources for keys and key codes
- Setting up and running a key machine
- Add-a-key and common programming workflows
It's the narrow, profitable slice you keep sending out, not a full locksmith course.
What your shop provides
Manufacturer subscriptions and fees, a laptop, a J2534 device, cables and adapters, and any modules or parts. Those are separate from the training, and I'll tell you exactly what you need before we start.
A real vehicle, when you're ready
Once your access is approved and your equipment is in place, we can schedule a return visit around a real customer vehicle and walk through the job together.
