The technicians will come primarily from dealerships in Ohio, Michigan,
Indiana, Kentucky and Pennsylvania.
    "This facility represents a substantial investment and commitment by
Nissan to its customers and dealers to help ensure that Nissan and Infiniti
owners receive the best-possible service for their vehicles," said Dan Carney,

equipment and training materials.  The center has 10 service bays, six service
lifts, two classrooms and a laboratory with 12 computers.  There are 12 other
such technician training centers nationwide.
