Automotive Department
Dunwoody Automotive prepares students to succeed in the automotive industry as a technician at a wide range of service/repair facilities such as independents, franchises, fleets, and dealerships. Students acquire both the diagnostic and repair skills needed to service the sophisticated technologies, materials, and complex systems used in modern automobiles.
Dunwoody provides training in both automotive service and collision repair and refinishing. The automotive service area also has manufacturer-specific offerings for Honda/Acura and Toyota/Lexus. Additional online training is also available for Audi, Mercedes, Mopar (Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep®, Ram, FIAT), and Subaru.
Dunwoody has one of the most sophisticated automotive educational labs in the country. Instructors are certified ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) technicians and all programs are accredited by their industry-specific professional organization including, the ASE Education Foundation (previously known as the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation or NATEF) and I-CAR (Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair).
Graduates are highly valued by industry. In fact, most Dunwoody Automotive graduates have job offers long before they graduate.
Graduates earn an associate of applied science degree. Classes are offered during the day. Arts & Sciences curriculum supports the technical coursework by enhancing the students' communication, mathematics, and critical thinking skills.
