Glen Oaks Community College

Automotive

Are you fascinated by engines, belts, and transmissions? Do you like diagnosing problems? Do you want to be able to repair your own or the family car?  The Glen Oaks program This program is designed to prepare you as a technician in the automotive industry.

Is this for me?

The work of automotive service technicians and mechanics has evolved from mechanical repair to a high technology job. Technicians must have an increasingly broad base of knowledge about how the complex components work and interact, as well as the ability to work with electronic diagnostic equipment and computer-based technical reference materials. Technicians must assess the symptoms, then take a diagnostic approach to isolate the components logically causing the problem, perhaps taking a test drive and/or using a variety of testing equipment to identify the source of the problem.

Students in the Glen Oaks automotive programs are prepared to excel in today’s high-tech automotive industry.
