The Tire Industry Association (TIA) and Bridgestone Firestone North American Tire LLC have joined forces to offer TIA's Basic Automotive Training Service (ATS) course via the tiremaker's Bridgestone Consumer Tire Education Network.

The ATS program is comprised of eight modules that cover tire sizing, tire and wheel problem diagnosis, tire repair installation and other subjects.

"TIA is proud to offer Bridgestone brand dealers the opportunity to take advantage of our superior Basic ATS course from the convenience of their computers," says TIA Executive Vice President Roy Littlefield.

Bridgestone brand dealers who are interested in learning more about the arrangement are encouraged to contact their area sales managers.
