Collision Repair Technology

Automotive body technicians can repair most damage from everyday vehicle collisions and make vehicles look and drive like new. Damage may be minor, such as replacing a cracked windshield, or major, such as replacing an entire door panel. Repair technicians use many tools for their work including pneumatic tools, metal-cutting guns, and plasma cutters. For major structural repairs, such as aligning the body, they often use frame machine and computerized measuring system. For some work, they use common hand tools, such as metal files, pliers, wrenches, hammers, and screwdrivers.

This program can be completed in two years (1080 clock hours).

Class starts in August each year.

Students can TABE test starting in April and register in July.
