COLLISION AND
REPAIR

Use your skills to repair dents, bumps, and dings.  Thousands of motor vehicles are damaged in traffic accidents every day. Although some are junked, most can be made to look and drive like new. Automotive Collision Repairers straighten bent bodies, remove dents, and replace crumpled parts that are beyond repair. Usually, they can fix all types of vehicles, but most body repairers work on cars and small trucks. A few work on large trucks, buses, or tractor-trailers. 

    Reasons For Choosing A 
    Career In  Collision Repair 

• Collision repair work has 
    variety and challenge;
    each damaged
    vehicle presents a
    different problem. 
• Repairers must develop 
    appropriate methods for
    each job, using
    their broad knowledge of
    automotive construction
    and repair techniques. 
• Starting salaries of most
    Collision  Repair
    graduates range between
    $13,000 and $22,000 per
    year, depending upon job
    location and individual
    competence. 

What are the requirements? 

• Classes are open to 10th,
    11th, and 12th grade
    students 
• Students must have a GPA
    of 2.0 or higher 
• Students must successfully
    complete (C or better)
    one or more credits in an
    approved Mathematics
    and/or Science class. 
• Minimum reading level of
    eighth (8th) grade

   AUTO SERVICE
           TECH

Use your skills to repair all types of automobiles.
 Automotive service technicians inspect, maintain, or repair automobiles and light trucks with gasoline 
engines. When technical or electrical
troubles occur, the technician may have to test drive the vehicle or use a variety of testing equipment, such as on-board and hand-held diagnostic computers and compression gauges to locate the problem, then make adjustments to repairs once the cause of the problem is found. 

   Reasons For Choosing A
   Career In Automotive
   Service Technology 


• Automotive repair work
    has variety and 
    challenge; each vehicle
    presents a different 
    problem. 
• Mechanics must develop
   appropriate methods
   for Each job, using their 
    broad knowledge of 
    automotive operation
    and circuitry. 
• Auto Mechanics range 
   between $15,000 and 
   $24,000 per year 
   depending upon job
    location and individual
    competence. Most
    service technicians
    work on salary or commission after a year
 employed in the field.
