The class visited Lakeland College for Construction Trades Day. It was an excellent opportunity for students to explore the many career paths available in the trades. Several of the trades offered hands-on demonstrations that gave students a real sense of what the work involves. Following the event, the class toured KC Summers dealership. Thanks to everyone who made this day possible.

Today our Small Engine class welcomed guest speaker Kevin Overbeck. He shared insights into a career in paintless dent repair and even demonstrated the process live by fixing a few dents in a car door. Hands-on learning at its best! Thanks Kevin!

We’re back at it in the shop! Several students needed oil changes, so they’ve been learning the basics of changing their own oil. It’s one of the least expensive ways to keep a vehicle running properly. Unfortunately, it’s something many people tend to neglect, which ends up costing them far more in the long run.

In the final week of school, the vehicle maintenance class learned how to change a flat tire and install the spare. It’s an essential, real-world skill that could prove invaluable because you never know when you’ll find yourself stranded on the side of the road needing to swap a tire.

Over the past couple of weeks, the automotive class has been learning the basics of welding. They first started with stick welding then progressed to MIG welding. We had a community member ask the class to weld an old tractor seat to a disk blade to make a bar stool. Another student welded horse shoes together to create a cross.

Over the last week, the vehicle maintenance class has been covering auto care and detailing. They have performed a variety of tasks, including washing their vehicles and vacuuming and cleaning their interior.

Can you tell it's almost mowing season... 😂. Our shop is packed full with mowers that need servicing. The students are busy changing oil, filters and sharpening blades. Thanks to our local community for trusting us with your equipment and providing a great hands-on learning experience for the students.

Recently, one of our students acquired a newer vehicle and wanted to replace all the fluids to ensure that the maintenance was current. He successfully replaced the oil, transfer case fluid, front and rear axle fluid, and transmission fluids. This task can be quite challenging on newer vehicles, but he did a great job!

Members of the Auto Club recently traveled to Princeton, IN, for an educational tour of the Toyota Motor Manufacturing facility. The plant, which produces the Toyota Sienna, Grand Highlander, and Lexus TX, is a powerhouse of modern industry. They employ over 7,000 people and maintaining a production rate of approximately one vehicle every 60 seconds. While photography was prohibited inside the facility, the tour offered students an invaluable firsthand look at large-scale automotive engineering and assembly.
