Automotive service technicians inspect, maintain and repair automobiles and trucks that run on gasoline, electricity, or alternative fuels such as ethanol. Automotive service technicians’ responsibilities have evolved from mechanical repairs to high-level, technology-related work. BSC’s program is certified by the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation, an evaluation board of the Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). All BSC instructors have achieved ASE certification.

The increasing lifespan of late-model cars and light trucks will further increase demand for qualified workers. Those with training in advanced automotive technology, such as hybrid fuel or computer systems – should have the best job prospects.
