Get a jump start on a CAReer in automotive repair
How to get started
There are several ways to get started in the franchised automobile business…..
(1) Talk to your local dealers. Dealerships are always interested in visiting with potential future employees, from junior high students on up. Many dealers offer a chance to try out the business through cooperative education programs, internships, job shadowing, or part-time and summer jobs.
You'll also find that many dealers are ready to help you finance your education through scholarships and other forms of financial assistance such as a student loan repayment plan. They can also give you something even more important: Insight into how to launch your own success story in their exciting, dynamic and rewarding industry.
