Autobody Repair

 If you are more interested in the appearance of automobiles than function and would like to work in autobody repair or restoration, there are Community College programs that prepare students specifically for these types of jobs. Autobody repair and restorative work focuses closely on hands-on repairs that require welding and refinishing skills and use of plastics and adhesives. Graduates are happy to find themselves prepared for employment opportunities in either field of their choice.

The Autobody Repair curriculum provides training in the use of equipment and materials of the autobody repair trade.  The student studies the construction of the automobile body and techniques of autobody repairing, rebuilding, and refinishing.

The course work includes autobody fundamentals, industry overview, and safety.  Students will perform hands-on repairs in the areas of non-structural and structural repairs, MIG welding, plastics and adhesives, refinishing, and other related areas.

In this program, you will graduate with a diploma and you should qualify for entry-level employment opportunities in the automotive body and refinishing industry.
