Auto Body

The Auto Body program provides students with comprehensive exposure and training in the major aspects of auto body repair, including the replacement and repair of body sheet metal parts, estimating, detailing R+I operations, tear-down and reassembly procedures, and preparation and application for refinishing new and damaged sheet metal parts. Through hands-on projects, students gain experience in collision estimating, replacing or repairing body trim parts or accessories, and performing complete overall refinishing of cars. Additionally, students have the opportunity to be trained in estimating using CCC software, a tool commonly used in the auto body industry. This program emphasizes the intelligence and skill required for auto body work, functions that cannot be fully replaced by machines. Auto body and refinishing technicians are typically employed in new car dealerships and independent body shops, with excellent opportunities also available in related fields such as insurance companies, paint manufacturers, suppliers, and auto parts sales. Technicians often work with minimal supervision, offering both challenges and a sense of pride in their accomplishments.

 

Students in the Auto Body program engage in hands-on training that covers all major aspects of auto body repair and refinishing. The curriculum is designed to provide students with practical experience in both the technical and artistic elements of the trade. Training includes the use of industry-standard tools and software, preparing students for a wide range of employment opportunities in the auto body industry and related fields.
