ROADS, Auto Mechanics Students Tour Carson City Toyota

Oct 28, 2024

During a recent tour of Carson City Toyota, Western Nevada College students learned about the automobile service intake process, cutting-edge vehicle technology, parts preparation and the art of car detailing.

Recently, students from WNC's Realizing Opportunities for the American Dream to Succeed (ROADS) program and an Automotive Mechanics class experienced an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of Carson City Toyota.

They explored the car service intake process, cutting-edge vehicle technology, parts preparation and the art of car detailing. Jeff Hawkins, Carson City Toyota Service Manager, shared information about part-time and full-time job opportunities with students, emphasizing the importance of further education and earning their ASE certifications for a thriving career in the automotive industry.

"The students learned about the inner workings of how auto dealerships run and what they can expect from the field when they enter it," said WNC Auto Mechanics Instructor Alex Street. "We also had a long conversation about the trajectory of the automotive industry."

Added WNC ROADS program Workforce Development Liaison Kara Spracklin, "A big thank you to Campagni Auto Group for being an invaluable partner, helping to strengthen our local workforce and support WNC students!"
