The Automotive Body Repair Program is a two-year course, which provides students with the skills to refinish automobiles when they are damaged.

Instruction involves body and fender repair, painting, straightening frames, aligning front ends and repairing or replacing upholstery. Other areas of instruction involve the installation and repair of electrical wiring, and knowing how to use power jacks, frame tools, paint mixers, and upholstery fabrics.

Automobile accidents necessitate repair cost estimates by insurance companies. Therefore, the automobile body mechanic must be able to estimate accurately the cost of any given job.
