Wayne Community College was selected by General Motors to provide specialized training to automotive technicians from across the region.
The “Alignment/Undercar Seminar” was taught by WCC’s GM Automotive Service Educational Program Coordinator David Byrd. He covered alignment and inspection techniques with a focus on productivity, diagnosis, and common service procedures.
The training included a session on a popular brand of alignment equipment. Adrian Rigsbee, a representative of Hunter Engineering Company, explained his firm’s current alignment devices and demonstrated those that the technicians are likely to have in their shops.
Participating in the training were
Matt Ponce, Abraham Torres, and Justin Humbles of Team Chevrolet of Goldsboro;
