Automotive Service
Tools, Technology, and Computers!
Automotive classes prepare students for careers in auto service using the latest equipment and software for learning. All programs have earned nationally recognized NATEF accreditation. Depending on the school, certification is available in brakes, front-end suspension, electrical/electronic systems, electronics, and engine performance.
Auto service students are self-motivated and mechanically inclined. They need good math, reading, and science skills in order to understand and apply information found in service manuals and technical literature. Hands-on applications are important, but students will also spend a significant amount of time in classrooms and the computer lab.
Collision and Auto Body Repair
After one year of advanced auto technology some students choose to specialize in auto body and collision repair. A limited number of students can participate in an employer-provided collision repair program housed at local body shops. In this program, students are paired with a master repair technician and they learn the trade through observation, instruction, and practice.
Automotive service technology is available at Brighton, Fowlerville, Hartland, and Pinckney High Schools.
The collision and auto body repair program is available to a limited number of senior students who have completed one year of advanced auto technology ( two-hour block ).
Electronics and new technologies in the auto industry require more learning and understanding than ever before. Learning the theories relevant to today’s systems is only the beginning of a lifelong educational process required in the rapidly evolving and increasingly complex field of automotive diagnosis and repair.
