Solutions that Grow Students and Help Patrons

The Automotive Department at Mott Community College prepares students in a hands on learning service lab. This allows our community to schedule automotive service time for inspection, diagnosis, and repairs for a small fee, plus the cost of any parts that might be installed. All service is performed by students and inspected by our ASE Certified Instructors.
