Auto Collision Repair
Fix it up, rebuild it or fabricate a new vision.

Every car has a story—some need repairs to get back on the road, others are ready for a full transformation. In the Autobody & Composites Program, students gain the skills to do both: restoring damaged vehicles and diving into the exciting world of custom modifications and fabrications.
From fixing dents, welding panels, and refinishing paint jobs to experimenting with fiberglass and advanced composites, this program blends hands-on craftsmanship with high-tech tools. Students will learn to repair accident damage, work with cutting-edge materials, and design custom features that turn an ordinary car into a one-of-a-kind ride.
But this program isn’t just about cars—it’s about possibility. The autobody and composites industry is evolving, with opportunities in collision repair, custom fabrication, marine and aerospace composites, and even advanced manufacturing. Whether you dream of restoring classic cars, creating show-stopping custom builds, or working on the next generation of high-performance vehicles, this program gives you the foundation to make it happen.
