Vehicle Repairs

The Waubonsee Automotive Collision and Refinishing Technology and Automotive Service Technology Programs accept vehicles for repair or customization.

The following conditions apply:

  • All work is intended as an educational experience for our students. Therefore, vehicle work requested must fit the applicable instructional content of courses in session.
  • We only accept vehicles 15 years or newer for service/repair consideration (from present model year).
  • The college retains the right to refuse or stop working on any vehicle for any reason.
  • All cars must be legally titled, licensed and insured or service request will be denied.
  • All parts or materials must be paid for in full when service is completed as a condition of releasing the vehicle to customer/owner. Instructions for paying bill will be covered during vehicle drop-off or upon request of written payment policy request.
  • Customers are fully responsible for the quality and correctness of parts not ordered by WCC Auto Tech staff.
  • We strive to complete all work as quickly as possible. You MUST be willing to leave your vehicle for as long as necessary to complete (depending on the nature of the issue) the repair.
  • Accurate repair estimates cannot be made without first evaluating the vehicle. Any estimate made prior to vehicle inspection/evaluation will only be considered a “ball park” figure if requested. Any necessary updates to the estimate will be communicated.

Submit a Request: Email AutoTech@waubonsee.edu

The institution will evaluate, prioritize and schedule requests.
