Automotive service and repair practices takes place at the Advanced Transportation Technology Center (ATTC) and the course is an attempt to simulate an automotive repair shop environment. Through practice on program vehicles as well as live public projects students will gain experience with the diagnosis and repair of vehicles. Students are responsible for following proper industry standards for safety and workmanship. Students are required to research repair process and labor times and set a goal to reach the professional flat-rate time standard. Doing so will challenge their use of tools, service literature, shop awareness and improve their growth towards professional automotive technicians.
