Auto Collision Repair Technology
Program Description
This program prepares the student for a career as a specialist in auto body repair. The automobile repair business is becoming even more important today as many car owners are having their present vehicles repaired rather than buying new ones. Students will receive training in sheet metal welding and cutting, cost estimating, basic business procedures, metal straightening, frame repair, suspension, glass, plastic, and fiberglass repair, body construction, automotive painting and refinishing. The student will gain practical experience by working on damaged vehicles in a state-of-the-art auto collision facility.
