Auto Mechanics
 The
Auto Mechanics program at Northwest-Shoals Community College is
structured to produce technicians capable of performing
high-quality repairs and maintenance. Special emphasis is
placed on the use of modern testing equipment to identify and
locate malfunctions. Basic scientific principles and
technical information are taught to give the student a better
understanding of the cause of mechanical or electrical
failures. The current Auto Mechanics curriculum is taught
during the extended evening program only; therefore, completion
may require more than four semesters.
The successful student will become skilled in making scientific
diagnosis and performing necessary repairs and adjustments to the
various systems of the automobile, including engine, suspension
and steering, power train, braking, emissions, fuel, electrical,
and air conditioning systems.
The graduate of this curriculum will be prepared to enter the
automobile service industry as an entry level automobile
technician, service manager, parts person, or auto specialist.
