Monroe Ride Control Clinic Plays to "Full House"

Robert Maiurro, Area Manager for Tenneco Canada, was the featured presenter at our special clinic. Robert shared the latest information and technical tips on Ride Control / Suspension with 50 registered mechanics and shop owners on May 18, 2011.

Fifty-four area shop owners, mechanics, technicians and service writers attended the training clinic. Fourteen staff members from The Young Automotive Professionals were also in attendance.

To start the evening off ‘The Country Boys’ catering service from Wainfleet provided a great meal for everyone.

Robert Maiurro led the group through technical details on Ride Control in general, and how Monroe products could improve the operating conditions of vehicles that have reached the performance limit on the factory equiped suspension system installed at the time the vehicle was assembled in the factory.

Using the latest videos and slides to demonstrate how the suspension system degrades over time, Robert showed the impact on STEERING, STABILITY and SAFETY.

Robert then displayed the difference that new equipment made to the stability, steering, and stopping of vehicles. Some time was also spent on the relationship between suspension and the electronic stability control systems in many new automobiles.

Information on how to communicate the need for and value of repairs to a vehicle suspension system to customers. Robert noted that most consumers do not understand that a properly functioning suspension system is critical to the vehicles overall safety.  He stated that many customers equate the suspension system with ride comfort and it is the duty of shop personnel to impress on them the importance of having a properly operating suspension system for safety.

Everyone in attendance received some gifts from Monroe. A series of door prize draws was also presented at the conclusion of the clinic.

Additional information on Monroe Ride Control and Monroe suspension products is available from any Counter Person at Youngs or from our Sales Representatives in the field: Frank Nava and Bob White.
