The Automotive Service Simulation class provides an opportunity for Gateway students to gain hands-on experience while providing low-cost service to our community. All requested service will be reviewed to determine if it meets the educational requirements of the class. Gateway reserves the right to only accept projects they feel are suitable for its students.
PLEASE NOTE:

the duration of the current classes offered from the time of submission (typically until the end of the semester). If you still need service after this timeframe, please submit a new request.
-- We will
consider servicing cars and/or light trucks that are
TEN YEARS OLD OR NEWER. Only standard-type passenger vehicles are eligible for servicing.
-- Once the application has been reviewed, we will contact you if your vehicle has been selected to be serviced.
-- Jobs are selected and scheduled according to instructional need and value.
-- We service vehicles that correspond to the areas the students are studying; therefore, we cannot give you a date your vehicle will be serviced.
-- If work cannot be completed in a single class period, the vehicle will not be eligible for service.
-- All work is done by appointment only.
-- No service will have priority over another because of application date.
-- Vehicle owner is responsible for purchasing and providing the parts required for the work to be completed. The lead instructor will inform the owner of what parts are needed to complete the request.
