Matthew Harbert recently attended MTI’s Steering & Suspension Bootcamp and left confident he can perform alignments efficiently.

“Sending Matthew to the steering and suspension boot camp was money well invested.  He came back with an increase in repair efficiency and a better understanding of steering and suspension theory. He also thanked me for the opportunity to take steps in the growth of his career,” Bill Snow, Vice President of Franchise Development & Operations at Rad Air said.

Harbert’s Takeaways

Learning efficient processes for component replacement, alignments, subframe inspection, and adjustment, etc. was exactly the push that Harbert needed.

“To understand the theory fully behind this is so beneficial for me. I feel this will make me more efficient now that I know I won’t have to rack cars up twice,” he explained.
