2.00 Credits
(2.0 Units) (No prerequisite. One lecture and three laboratory hours weekly.) This course is designed for the person whose car has everyday run-of-the-mill dents, scrapes, scratches, and gouges. You can't remember where they all came from, but these are the ones that are usually left unfixed or you end up paying for them out of your own pocket. Most people simply lack the confidence to attempt their own minor automotive body and fender repairs. Until now, basic do-it-yourself instructions have not been available. With a surprisingly small number of tools, anyone can make small automotive body and fender repairs. No painting will be done in this class.

(CSU) Note: All work done on vehicles must have instructor's approval.
