Automotive Collision Technology, designed for students with a keen interest in motor vehicles.

The Automotive Collision Technology program is designed for students with a keen interest in motor vehicles and an eye for color, shape, and design. It takes a skilled auto body technician to make damaged vehicles look new again, and that’s exactly what students learn to do as they gain hands-on experience through straightening bent frames, repairing dents, replacing body panels, learning to match and apply paint colors, and writing damage estimates.
