June 8, 2017—Federal-Mogul Motorparts has introduced Garage Forum, a new online community where technicians and shop owners can share technical tips and ask for and offer advice on difficult diagnostic and repair challenges.
Garage Forum is designed to serve as an online meeting place where automotive professionals can exchange ideas, gain insight into emerging vehicle technology trends and share their experiences covering virtually any vehicle repair.
The forum includes 12 primary topic categories:
- Braking
- Driveability
- Driveline
- Electrical
- Engine
- Exhaust
- Filters/Chemicals/Fuels
- HVAC
- Sealing, Steering and Suspension
- Tools and Equipment
- Visibility
Users also can search for any specific discussion or repair topic by entering a few keywords.
"Professional technicians are the lifeblood of the auto care industry, and Garage Forum is designed to be a valuable resource they can rely on for help with any repair or other technical topic," said Jessica Wynn, global director of digital marketing and strategy. "This powerful new online platform is all about supporting the daily success of front-line automotive service professionals."
To further underscore its commitment to technicians, Federal-Mogul Motorparts is offering additional benefits to professionals who utilize the new forum. Participants automatically earn points in the company's Garage Rewards loyalty program simply by joining the Garage Forum community, and earn additional points for their first discussion review and response and ongoing participation. Bonuses are awarded to those who begin "Hot Topic" discussions, qualify as Top Contributors, and achieve Elite Tech status based on a variety of criteria, including forum engagement. These points can then be used toward gear, training and other rewards.
