here to listen to our radio commercial Cars, like people, are "living" longer these days and requiring more service. Built-in computers, sophisticated electronics, and complex pollution control devices add to the need for more and better trained automotive technicians. If you are mechanically inclined and like to solve problems, automotive mechanics may be a good field for you. This program leads to jobs - and good pay.
Our Automotive Service Technology graduates get good jobs as technicians for auto dealers, independent garages and large fleet owners. They also go to work for specialty repair shops, working exclusively on engines, electrical systems, transmissions or other parts. Some enter sales work for auto parts retailers or wholesalers, and some go into business for themselves. The ability to diagnose trouble accurately is the key to success in this field - and our Automotive Service Technology program is designed to give you that skill through plenty of hands-on practice. In Arkansas, entry-level automotive technology graduates have an earning potential of $12.00 to $18.00 per hour. Technical Certificate
