Nikki Traynor: More Than a Bottle is the Professional Series comic series, and every episode ends with a lesson Nikki teaches a service advisor one on one.
Season One runs eight episodes, one for each chapter of the service-drive lesson, with Special Editions for the holidays and NADA. Every episode has its own movie poster. When the Signal goes up, Nikki rolls in Mile One, opens the Rack, and pulls the right bottle.
A twenty-year-old sedan. A noise. A woman who listens.
Mrs. Alvarez has driven the same sedan for twenty years, and something under the hood just started talking. Nikki hears it before anyone else does, and Ty, a first-year advisor, learns how a welcome and a walk-around reveal the need.
Anybody can do the front half.
Race day, and the pits are full of people who only maintain what they can see. Dave Rogers is trackside doing a Fixed Ops Focus segment, and Nikki shows why the back half of the car gets the same care as the front.
Twelve miles down. The brakes quit at mile six.
A Honda with the wrong brake fluid, a long grade, and SLICK's Auto Repair behind it all. Special guest Mike Dunright of Boss Motors works the service drive while Nikki and the crew roll out in the Realm.
Science Fair or Bust!
A science-fair project, a parking lot full of yoga mats, and a cooling system that picked the worst day to fail. Meet Justin Case and Amy Policy of IOU Warranty.
Thanksgiving in the Islands!
A catamaran named Brightside, a diesel that won't cooperate, and a Mayday call off the British Virgin Islands. Lucy runs the dinghy, Nikki stands on the bow, and everyone ends up at the Wading Room with a Pain Reliever.
Pass or fail, minimum requirement, the close and fix it right the first time complete Volume 1.
