DENSO Sales California Offers
 Engine Performance Training for Technicians


LONG BEACH, Calif. - DENSO Sales California announces the introduction of four 
new Engine Performance Technical Training seminars for the automotive service 
professional. The seminars focus on service, diagnostic and repair best practices for 
engines manufactured by the following carmakers:

1.	Chrysler Engine Performance (CEP)
2.	Ford Engine Performance (FEP)
3.	General Motor Engine Performance (GEP)
4.	Volkswagen and Audi Engine Performance Diagnostics (VEP)

The Chrysler Engine Performance (CEP) seminar will be available in January 2009.  
The Ford, GM and Volkswagen Engine Performance seminars are available in November 
2008.

Taught by professional trainers and not sales people, these 8-hour classroom style 
seminars focus on "best practices" concerning service, diagnostic and repair that is 
unique to engines produced by these manufacturers. Special tips to help increase first-
time repair success and reduce diagnostic time are shared throughout the training.  
These seminars are offered by local parts distributors and are held on-site throughout 
the U.S. and Canada giving the parts distributor an opportunity to strengthen 
relationships with the professional technicians who buy their parts. 

DENSO's goal is to become a trusted partner with our customers and service 
professionals," said Gene Stark, senior manager, Engineering and Technical Services 
departments.  "We are excited to offer these four new courses in addition to the eight we 
currently offer.  All of these courses have received outstanding reviews from the 
technicians who have taken them".
