On February 8th Nissan North America, Inc. (NNA) celebrated the opening of its new Dallas Training Center located in Irving,. The training center – located at 6641 N. Beltline Road, Suite 140 – will provide dealership technicians service training on both Nissan and Infiniti products for technicians located in the Central region which covers thirteen surrounding states.
The open house ceremony was hosted by Mario Polit, Nissan’s Director of Training, with officials from the state legislature, City of Irving, the Irving Chamber of Commerce and representatives from Nissan and Infiniti’s Dallas/Fort Worth area dealerships.
“Both Nissan and Infiniti continue to bring forward exciting new products to the market and our consistent focus on ensuring a quality ownership experience to our customers will be strengthened by this new facility,” said Polit. “This new state of the art facility will support the launch of 20 new vehicles in the U.S. over the next 24 months in addition to ongoing core curriculum requirements. Technical training is part of the foundation of Nissan’s ongoing effort to improve customer satisfaction.”
Covering more than 25,000 square feet of operational area, the center includes five classrooms, component repair area, a 12,000 square foot Vehicle Demonstration Area featuring two alignment racks, twenty-three service bays, and twelve vehicle lifts. In addition to new model training, courses on core curriculum will be conducted at the center, covering topics such as heating and cooling systems, chassis integrity, on-board diagnostics and emissions.
The new Dallas facility is one of eleven Nissan and Infiniti Training Centers in the U.S. serving approximately 1,300 dealerships. There are approximately 9,000 total Nissan and Infiniti technicians. Another new technical center is scheduled to open later this year in the eastern part of the United States.
