January 2012 Bartec Announces TIA ATS Training Voucher!
TIA is taking its award winning Automotive Tire Service (ATS) Certification Course on the road in 2012. Throughout the coming year, in 28 cities across the country, those who successfully complete the 4-day class will be certified as Advanced ATS Instructors and will be able to take this critically important Tire Service knowledge back to your place of business!
As leaders in the TPMS segment, Bartec is sponsoring this important campaign. "We believe that 2012 will be an important year for TPMS and Tire Repair," according to Scot Holloway, CEO of Bartec USA. "In light of two recent revelations, the NHTSA/TIA scenario clarification and a 20 million dollar tire repair settlement, we believe that education, training, and of course having the proper equipment, is the best way forward if you are in the Tire service business," stated Holloway.
To back up their commitment to training and education, Bartec is offering a unique SPECIAL OFFER for the ATS TOUR. Beginning January 2, 2012, included with every NEW TECH400SD TPMS Tool shipped from Bartec is an ATS Registration Form and Tuition Voucher. The Tuition Voucher, when combined with the special sponsorship tuition rate, means a $200 discount for this class, and is only available from Bartec!
The TECH400SD is THE market leading TPMS Tool for the diagnosis and repair of the TPMS of Domestic and Import vehicles. With features like trouble code detection and displaying, on-board re-learn procedures, sensor part number display, SD card updating (no computer required), and of course market leading vehicle coverage, it is easy to understand why the nation’s largest tire service chains have chosen Bartec as their TPMS Tool provider!

January 2012 Bartec Shines in light of NHTSA/TIA Report!
In the recently published answers to the TPMS Questions posed by the Tire Industry Association, the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration clarifies what the 'make inoperative' provision means with respect to TPMS.
You can read the responses to the questions here
In Bartec’s view, the key points of this report are:
- You need a proper TPMS tool to VERIFY TPMS sensor function or non-function
prior to doing any TPMS service work. - That TPMS tool should be capable of fully servicing the TPMS while providing
detailed reports. - If a vehicle fitted with TPMS comes into your shop, and the system is operating
as designed, it must leave that way.
- As a repair technician, you cannot knowingly make the system inoperative.
- If you are installing seasonal or other new wheel sets to a fully functioning TPMS vehicle – those new wheels MUST have TPMS sensors included, and they must be programmed to the vehicle.
- Test BEFORE you touch.
- Retain records of the service – it could save your business.
Bartec, leaders in TPMS Tools and Solutions have always been an advocate of TEST BEFORE YOU TOUCH! That is, you should always use your Bartec TPMS Tool to verify the condition of the vehicle TPMS BEFORE you begin any service or repair. If you don’t have a Bartec tool, here’s what you’re missing:
- The ability to ACCURATELY test the TPMS sensors.
- Diagnose the vehicle condition by checking for fault codes.
- The ability to PROGRAM the new replacement sensor to the vehicle.
- Printing a comprehensive Vehicle Audit Report.
The audit report is the proof for you and your customer that you know what you are doing when it comes to servicing TPMS. Print out the audit report and show your customer what needs to fixed, what the last repair shop may have missed, and most importantly, keep the record that shows you are in compliance with 49 USC 30122(b)!
TEST BEFORE YOU TOUCH and Prove it – with the Bartec Audit Report!
