Students in the Automotive shop gain essential knowledge and skills related to automotive operation and mechanics. In addition to the core content materials, students are also working to develop critical thinking skills that can be applied to real life workplace situations.

Our course starts from basic hands on skills necessary for manipulating tools and equipment. From there, students focus on automobile maintenance including tune-ups, oil changes, brakes, tires and parts replacements. Our more advanced courses focus on automotive diagnostics and general engine overhaul.
