Making the Complex Simple
Adjusting a car’s temperature is as simple as turning a knob, but the workings under the hood are a different story. A complex system of mechanics keeps the AC and heating working in a car, and it’s your job to keep it running. After completing your program, you’ll diagnose and find solutions to this technology with ease.
Hard Work & Smart Work
Fixing a car’s air conditioning and heater is hard work, especially with all the moving parts, both big and small. You need to know where each of the parts go, how they work together, and how to repair and replace them. At CMC, you’ll know how to work hard and work smart with these systems as you come to understand each part perfectly.
