KEYNOTE LUNCHEON
11:30 am – 12:45 pm
MACS is pleased to announce that NASCAR driver
David Starr will be the Keynote Speaker at the
2020 Training Event Keynote luncheon sponsored by
Mahle Service Solutions. Competitive, determined and
passionate with over 20 years of racing experience
under his belt, David Starr has proven himself as one of
the top racers in the United States. His ambition was
sparked at a young age as he trailed on the heels of
his father, a racing crew chief, to the track each week.
Starting out at his local Houston dirt tracks, David
climbed the ladder gaining championships and victories
under his belt. He learned the skills and mechanics
behind racing on dirt and pavement, vaulted to success, and entered the then named NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in
1998. After more than a decade of racing, David had racked up wins in the Truck Series and competed for championships.
In 2014, David moved to the NASCAR Xfinity Series where he drove the #66 Toyota for Carl Long; as well as others such
as AJ Foyt, and NFL player, Randy Moss. David currently competes full-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, driving the
No. 52 Chevrolet Camaro for Jimmy Means Racing and part-time in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, driving the
No. 51 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 for Rick Ware Racing and the No. 97 Toyota Camry for Obaika Racing.
“David has been involved in racing since he was 14-years old and knows the business of racing inside and out. After
spending time with him we are convinced our attendees will be fascinated by a life-long driver’s perspective on the sport,”
remarked Elvis L. Hoffpauir, MACS president and chief operating officer.

                                                                                              SPONSORED BY

TRAINING EVENT & TRADE SHOW

                                                 THURSDAY, FEB. 20
       PASSENGER CAR / LIGHT TRUCK / TECHNICAL / MANAGEMENT
                             Morning: 8:00 am – 11:15 am • Afternoon: 1:00 pm – 4:15 pm
                        Electrical Systems Power Management - Impact on HVAC Operation                                PETER ORLANDO
                        Carquest Technical Institute
                         Winter Complaint - “My rear defogger, heated seats and mirrors don’t seem to be working right.” Is it truly a systems
                         malfunction or is the vehicle load shedding?
                         Summer Complaint - “My A/C needs a charge.” Is it an A/C problem or is the vehicle load shedding?
                         Can the HVAC system on a modern vehicle be telling us that there’s a bad battery on board? YES!
                         What percentage of time will the HVAC system be cycled OFF during a load shed level 3 event on a 2017 Chevy
                         Malibu? Are there levels of load shedding? YES!
    The customer’s awareness of this will begin gradually, and eventually they’ll bring the vehicle in for service. The technician will usually find
    ABSOLUTELY NOTHING wrong with the A/C or heating system.
    The modern power management system on today’s vehicles is vastly different than just a few years ago. We are now measuring,
    calculating, and reporting the voltage, current, temperature, state of charge, health, and function across multiple networks to optimize
    vehicle performance. Ever realize you left the headlights on, and wonder how the battery didn’t go dead overnight? The answer is Power
    Management. However, as the vehicle begins to age, so does the battery. Consumer convenience of certain climate control system
    functions will be impeded, and at times, not appear to be working at all. The key to all of this is knowing what climate control systems
    functionality will be impacted by any electrical system deficiencies or degradation.
    The class will include checking vital signs with a scan tool; load shed criteria and load reduction level counters; understanding net battery
    amp hours; proactive alerts: diagnostics and prognostics. Students that take this seminar will have a thorough understanding of domestic
    system load shedding, and the effect it has on HVAC system functionality.

    The Challenge of Change; HVAC Technology Changes that Make Modern Air Conditioning
    Systems more Challenging to Diagnose and Repair PETER McARDLE Four Seasons
    A myriad of changes to systems design and operation over the past ten to fifteen years can make diagnosing and
    repairing a modern air conditioning system diabolically difficult. The greater use of computer controls including
    volume flow sensors, eVDCs (electronically controlled variable displacement compressors), electro-viscous fan clutches,
    evaporator thermistors, multi-speed cooling fans, active grille shutters, dual zone systems etc. can really darken your
    diagnostic day. Couple these technologies with changes in basic component design such as the use of flat tube,
    multi-pass, multi-path flow, sub-cooling condensers, idle stop evaporators, oil retention compressors etc. and it can
    be overwhelming to know where to begin your diagnosis of a poorly performing system.
    “Join us for this class at MACS 2020 when we will explain some of these changes in detail and their impact on system operation and
    diagnostics. We will look at some of the issues and failures associated with these technologies and how best to cut to the diagnostic chase.”

TRAINING
Succeed and Conquer with KPIs (Part 1: Morning)                     RICK WHITE         180BIZ
Every shop owner starts the same way; excited about running a business and becoming his or her own boss. Why
then do some succeed while so many fail? It’s simple, really. The truly successful repair shop owner embraces the
“business” side of his shop. He understands that to achieve the dream he needs to focus on planning and execution –
not activity. This champion learns “the numbers”: what to watch; what to measure; what to modify. This is what KPIs
(Key Performance Indicators) are all about. They are simply tools which successful shop owners use to see where they
are today compared to where they want to be; identify quickly whether things are getting better or worse; highlight
areas that need improving before they become problems. This fast-paced seminar draws you into the shop owner’s
journey as he makes his business healthy and more profitable using KPIs.
Succeed and Conquer with KPIs (Part 2: Afternoon)                     RICK WHITE          180BIZ
After attending Part 1 of this series, you now understand the importance of using KPIs (Key Performance Indicators). You should now
have YOUR numbers in front of you. In this session, we do a deeper dive into each KPI and compare your numbers to our benchmark
metrics. We will review typical shop scenarios, see what factors affect each and learn what you can do to improve YOUR metrics. By the
end of the clinic, you’ll be able to join those other champion shop owners on their journey as you make your business healthier and more
profitable with the use of KPIs.

                   Understanding Compressor Design and Functional Differences                          RICHARD HAWKINS
                   1-800-Radiator and A/C
                   Compressors vary widely among the different vehicle platforms and even some specific models use compressors from
                   different manufacturers. Not all of these operate the same way, which is why it’s important for technicians to be able
                   to spot the differences. From electronic to manual controls and pistons to scrolls, join Richard Hawkins, technical
                   administrator for 1-800-Radiator and A/C for an in-depth look at what makes these compressors so different, and how
                   this knowledge can help along your diagnostic journey.

                        10:30 am – 11:15 am Working with Mining Equipment A/C Systems
                        PAUL KRUG Komatsu
                        First, what makes the mining duty A/C system different from standard commercial duty systems, or even harsh duty
                        A/C systems? What is different about how you service them, and what are the sticking points that are different from
                        most other commercial A/C service work? The presentation will also briefly cover some regulatory nuances for this
                        type of work. Finally, it will look at what the future hopefully holds for this type of work, namely a holistic approach
                        to operator safety and comfort. Second, when you consider all the things in the first topic, you realize that the cost
                        structure can be notably different from other systems. The presentation will cover how to monetize that, then how to
                        capitalize that when you’re trying to sell a specific mining duty system. Where do the opportunities lie, and how can
                        you sell those concepts to customers?

                                   11:30 AM – 12:45 PM                     KEYNOTE LUNCHEON

                    T/CCI Manufacturing
                    Choosing an electric A/C compressor and operating voltage suitable for a particular hybrid or electric vehicle is
                    important to ensure customer satisfaction. However, electrical and refrigerant system integration are important
                    aspects that can lead to costly failures if not properly addressed. Considerations for successful electric compressor
                    implementations will be discussed.

3:30 pm – 4:15 pm           A Comparison of Various Mobile A/C Hose Types                      AARON CLARK
Eaton
Multiple styles of mobile A/C hoses are used in the market and while there are many overlapping characteristics
between them, some differentiation does exist. Properties such as temperature capability, application, fluid/gas
compatibility and even cost play a role in selection of the appropriate conveyance product. This presentation includes
commentary and a direct comparison of the merits of each hose classification.

    update attendees on the Agency’s current SNAP
    regulations and activities impacting the mobile air conditioning industry.
    MICHAEL R. INGVARDSEN • Nissens Automotive A/S
    With increased focus on fuel economy and exhaust levels of cars in Europe, A/C systems have been developed and
    improved at a pace not seen before. EU demand for manufacturers to improve range have also had serious impacts.
    Buyers now have high expectations for system performance, even in smaller vehicles with 0.8 liter engines. Serious
    changes are required to accommodate both buyers and EU regulations. Micro and macro tube condensers, ECV
    compressors, electronic expansion valves as well as the change in refrigerant and oil have been a challenge for
    manufacturers and the European aftermarket. New technologies demand in-depth training and understanding of
    A/C systems to ensure a qualified diagnostic procedure. Why do ECV compressors break down quicker than fixed
    displacement? Is component structure the same? Is system load the same? Has the system endured severe heat load or is
    it just designed to the minimum standard? All these questions must be answered to understand A/C systems in European
    vehicles today, and to determine the root cause of system failure.
    JOSE MIGUEL DIAZ SASTRE • Sanden International Europe
    The speaker will address electrification of the motor vehicle and the impacts that will have on the A/C technician,
    including how powertrain cooling systems work, their differences to what we currently see in today’s vehicles, service tips
    and pitfalls.

                         FIAT Chrysler Automobiles
                         FCA was the first OEM to implement widespread use of R-1234yf A/C systems, and for 2020 virtually all Chrysler,
                         Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Fiat and Alfa Romeo vehicles use “yf” refrigerant. This session will discuss new technology, chillers
                         on the PHEV Pacifica and Challenger, and other system changes including proper diagnosis and service of these
                         vehicles, R-1234yf compressor applications along with recommended oil fill and type, and the new 48-volt systems.

     Selling Testing Profitably (Morning)               RICK WHITE          180BIZ
     Sound the trumpets because this clinic will show you a proven way to sell diagnostics profitably every time! As testing
     is acceptable to customers, you should get paid for it and stop giving your time and expertise away for free. This clinic
     also will review typical testing scenarios and demonstrate why the typical methodologies don’t work and give you a
     strategy that will work.
     To Install or Not to Install (Afternoon)               RICK WHITE          180BIZ
     Inevitably a customer or potential customer will compare your part pricings to a retail parts store. The customer can get parts “cheaper”
     than you can, right? It’s an uncomfortable situation for many auto repair shop owners. Under pressure you feel compelled to use parts
     supplied by the customer. Shop owners and managers are often unaware of the pitfalls and liabilities when they agree to install these very
     same parts. Some work is better than no work – right? In this seminar, I examine those pitfalls. I’ll offer alternatives to help you make the
     right decision “to install or not to install” with more of the facts. Get that work without installing someone else’s parts.

                         Climate Control Sensor and Actuator Diagnostics                     KARL SCHNEIDER             Robert Bosch
                         The days of simple air conditioning and heating repairs are long gone, which means the strategy for diagnosing these
                         systems needs to change. Today’s climate control systems are fully integrated, using a complex vehicle network with
                         shared modules, sensors and actuators. The answer for the customer’s concern could be a simple sensor failure or a
                         stuck actuator blend door. This session sponsored by Bosch will help you develop a solid strategy for diagnosing the
                         complete system, which will ensure the issue is diagnosed accurately and efficiently the first time.

     Is Spock in the House? Modern Climate Control Logical Procedures                           JIM WILSON          AVI
     We’ve come a long way since only using gauges and checking temperatures. As vehicles have become more complex,
     we need to adapt to changing technology. But at the same time, we can’t forget the essential steps and tests to
     baseline the system before trying to fix the customer’s concerns. This class covers those steps, plus testing various
     sensors and actuators on the system. The use of scan tools, DVOM, lab scopes, amp probes and learning to read wiring
     diagrams, especially those euro-types, needs to be part of your diagnostic arsenal. Remember, a logical procedure from
     beginning to end will always help!

Oil, and how it is used as a lubricant in compressors, is a very important issue, one which requires constant advice and
support to both engineers designing new systems and to service personnel in the field. This class will cover the effects of
various oils, mixes and best practices with R-1234yf, along with the effects of the wrong oil/refrigerant combination. It
will be intertwined with the importance of pressure and temperature conditions in the suction line and discuss how these
can be used as excellent diagnosis tools for system performance. By analyzing the suction line properly, correct refrigerant
levels, system faults and capacity can be determined quite easily.

                     Mobile Climate Control
                     The “Internet of Things” makes connectivity with A/C control units possible, and this technology is proving itself to be
                     a powerful tool, providing engineering and service data not only for field trial units, but also for full scale production
                     systems in all types of machines from skid steers to buses. Data can be pulled LIVE every minute or every 30 seconds, and
                     in some cases, this connection can be maintained 24/7 with the vehicle. So when the customer says they have a fault,
                     you can go back and look at the data, find out when it occurred, and exactly what happened. Eric Weiss, VP of product
                     development at Mobile Climate Control, presents the technology that not only helps diagnose systems that are currently
                     experiencing issues, but also has the power to help prevent the machine from going down in the first place.
