Automotive Technology

Auto Service Technology is a pre-professional program which prepares students for post-secondary success in specialized automotive and diesel technology. The program is hosted at Tell City High School.  Auto is a two-year program with a one-period option for sophomores at TCHS to make a third year.  Classes meet one, two, or three periods daily. The program teaches the world-renowned and industry recognized ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) standards. The curriculum and lab equipment is equal to college programs and the instruction is outstanding. Automotive Service has several dual college credit agreements which can provide program completers with a head start on a college degree.  In addition, students may count a select portion of lab time toward their ASE certification requirements.

Students study theories and applications to maintain and repair today’s highly technical cars and trucks including: safety, brakes, electrical, steering & suspension, engine repair, and engine performance.  Students perform selected repair work on shop vehicles designed to meet curriculum requirements.  Lab work is an essential part of each program.   Job tasks allow each student to gain valuable hands-on experience, experience a real-world shop environment, learn at their own pace, and develop the independence needed to succeed. Problem-solving, safety, working in teams, theory, and craftsmanship are all emphasized. The instructor is a dedicated professional and holds the prestigious title of ASE Master Technician. If you enjoy automobiles and find satisfaction in seeing the results of your own work, you will enjoy this career. Technicians are in high need today and as cars become more expensive and technical, trained and accomplished technicians will continue in high demand.
