Automotive Video presents a brand new training program on air conditioning fundamentals with Bosch Field Sales Technical Trainer Bob Pattengale.

Today, virtually every car has air conditioning, and virtually every car is going to need to have that air conditioning serviced from time to time. In this 75 minute training program, Bob focuses on the best recommended practices: the steps that you need to take long before you hook up an air conditioning machine. Are the belts in good condition? Are there any leaks in the system? Is the heater valve stuck open? Do you have a dirty cabin air filter?

What if you could save 30 minutes each day in the shop? Do you have some areas in the shop where you might be wasting a little bit of time? You might have a machine that's not quite up to its 100% potential? This DVD shows you why J2788 makes a difference!

J2788 air conditioning machines came onto the market about three years ago. If you purchased one in the last three years, chances are you purchased a J2788 machine. But what are the differences? Bob Pattengale talks about them in this video.

J2788, the new standard, is based on research that was done with the Society of Automotive Engineers and the Mobile Air Conditioning Society working in conjunction with car manufacturers.
