What does I-CAR say about following vehicle maker sectioning guidelines?
Response
Per I-CAR curriculum: “It is recommended to only follow the part replacement guidelines outlined by the vehicle maker. If a vehicle maker does not offer sectioning guidelines, then sectioning should not be done.”
"If vehicle maker procedures or recommendations are not available, DO NOT SECTION.”
