Do you have an automobile in need of repair? Community members are welcome and encouraged to contact our Automotive Services Department!
We are a nonprofit training facility and all rates, charges, and fees for our services are directly funded back into our program, shop, equipment, and tools. This allows us to offer services at a significant cost reduction compared to many private repair shops.
SPSCC students who are working towards automotive degrees and certificates will address your automotive problems under the direct supervision of our master ASE certified instructors. To prepare for their careers as automotive technicians, the students learn to diagnose and repair problems in a hands-on shop environment.
When you trust us with your automobile, you are supporting our students’ curriculum. We are available for select customer service projects during SPSCC’s fall, winter, and spring quarters. All customer projects are selected based on the curriculum being taught each quarter. We are limited on the number of projects we can take as the students only have their lab periods to work on the vehicles. Please only submit a service request form if you are comfortable leaving your vehicle in our shop for several weeks at a time. We contact folks only once the vehicle service request has been selected for the current quarter. If your vehicle has been declined, an email response will be sent to you. Otherwise, we will hold onto your request until the quarter in which that service is being offered in the chance that it may be selected. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we do not function like a normal shop and responses are often delayed.

- Chassis System: Brakes, Steering, & Suspension
