Students receive training in the general automotive service field and related specialty areas. Basic skills are emphasized leading to entry level employment. Students enrolled in this program learn basic automotive theory, as well as safety and shop procedures in a guided, hands-on environment. Repetition of basic skills is emphasized, including the proper use of hand and power tools.

The curriculum includes vehicle cleaning and detailing, oil changes, minor repairs to brake and exhaust systems, electrical repairs, and steering and cooling system service. The program includes New York State vehicle inspection training, and students have the opportunity to perform safety and emissions inspections on vehicles that come into the shop. Also included in the program is the option for participation in a work-study experience with a local employer.
