Automotive Maintenance II

Course Syllabus:

Auto Maintenance Two is a one-semester course designed to give the student a series of opportunities to learn more about the operation, care and repair of the vehicle.

The student will have the opportunity to learn about and investigate automotive emission systems, cooling systems, ignition systems, engine tune-up, starting and charging systems and advanced brake work.  The class is divided into approximately fifty percent classroom activities and fifty percent lab activities.  Each student is encouraged to be present if at all possible because of the difficulty of reproducing the lab activities at a later date.
