MAKE SURE YOUR DEALERSHIP HAS A MVAC-TRAINED TECHNICIAN (MVAC 609)

An Environmental Protection Agency update that took effect January 1, 2018, says that selling motor vehicle air conditioners (MVACs) to an uncertified technician, or handling them as an uncertified technician, could be a violation of the Clean Air Act. Wholesale sellers are now requiring that MVAC purchasers show that at least one shop technician has been certified.
