Auto Tech Department Offers Low-Cost Repair"},"content":{"rendered":"

If your vehicle needs repair, ACC’s Automotive Department may be able to save you a little money.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Service is offered at Riverside, Round Rock and the San Marcos Goodnight Center.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Automotive students perform brake work, tune-ups, ignition system repair, and other minor services. Customers pay a $45 shop fee (additional fees may be charged for multiple repairs), plus the cost of any parts. There is no charge for labor.<\/p>\n

“This gives our students hands-on experience, and can be a convenient, more affordable option for students and staff,” says Mike Shoebroek, chair of ACC’s Automotive Department. “It’s really a win-win.”<\/p>\n

Customers requesting service must have their problem assessed beforehand, and the work may be declined if it does not meet the objectives for a particular automotive course. Repairs are done at ACC’s Riverside and Round Rock campuses.<\/p>\n

Shoebroek says the department tries to complete the work on the same day if possible, but some repairs take longer.<\/p>\n
