IcarlowI-CAR, the Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair, is launching a completely redesigned website at www.i-car.com. According to I-CAR, the new site has been carefully planned and designed to provide the industry with a comprehensive, easy-to-use online resource for collision repair education, knowledge and solutions.

The new site contains an extensive amount of new content, covering everything from specific details on programs and services that I-CAR offers, to more strategic insights that will help users gain even more value from I-CAR solutions. For example, expanded accessibility to technical information is now available through the Repairability Technical Support Portal.

In addition to the development of new content, I-CAR says user-friendly and actionable navigation are other key components of the website redesign. Content can be found in multiple ways:

• By I-CAR program: including the I-CAR Professional Development Program, Welding Training & Certification, Industry Training Alliance and more

• By industry segment: collision repair, insurance, OEM, suppliers and career and technical schools

• By individual role: such as repair technicians, training managers, insurance claims managers and executives

Expandable menus and detailed navigation options allow users to see important content at a glance, while advanced search capabilities put critical information at the user’s fingertips. Clearly labeled buttons, links and a new I-CAR Class Search functionality make it easy for users to take action once they find the information they need, the organization adds.

John Van Alstyne, I-CAR CEO and president, says that these new resources are the most recent in a series of investments I-CAR is making to better serve the industry. “The collision repair industry is being flooded with a tsunami of new automotive technologies and cutting-edge vehicle advancements. I-CAR is keeping pace, so that we can help the industry we serve keep pace as well. By providing cutting-edge tools that are relevant and accessible, we are helping to move the industry closer to the I-CAR vision that every individual has the information, knowledge and skills required to perform complete, safe and quality repairs for the ultimate benefit of the consumer.”

This month’s diagnostic journey begins with a 2008 Land Rover Discovery that is taken in to a local testing facility for an emission test and fails due to a series of misfire codes.

Misfire activity is found on cylinders 2, 4, 6, 8 and 3; at first glance this series of codes implies that there may be bank 2 issues, but the cylinder 3 code throws a wrench into that mode of thought.
