Virtual TechnicianTM, the onboard diagnostic system from DetroitTM, is nothing short of an industry game-changer. It collects data as soon as a check engine or transmission light comes on and, within minutes, notifies the fleet or truck owner as to the severity of the issue. If it’s not urgent, Virtual Technician offers suggestions on how to best resolve the problem. If the situation is critical, the data is sent over to the Detroit Customer Support Center who analyze the problem and refer the fleet or truck owner to the nearest authorized service location where parts are in stock.
Virtual Technician saves fleet or truck owners time and money by eliminating several steps from the diagnosis/repair process—giving them the peace of mind necessary to keep their business running smoothly day in and day out. Find out more about Detroit Virtual Technician here.
