Testimonials

 

Joseph Nath

"While I ended up choosing to not pursue a career in automotive, the automotive program at LPC taught me useful skills that I can apply for my entire life. Whether you want to become a mechanic, or just are an enthusiast who is eager to learn more, I cannot recommend this program highly enough." - Joseph Nath

"The LPC automotive program is awesome. The teachers are great. They not only taught me about cars but helped become the person I am today. Don’t waste your money on UTI that you’ll be paying for years to come. I see journeyman at my work still paying for UTI. That money should be used for tools. The teachers know how to laugh and have a good time but serious when need be. I not only met good people but friends forever. If your willing to learn they will teach you. Thank you Brian, Terry and James." - William Severs

Jesse Quenga

"As a retired military veteran, I was able to attend some classes in the automotive program at LPC. Brian and Terry are very knowledgeable and their teaching styles allowed for new students (in automotive) to understand the material presented, and not become lost or confused. I was able to gain more knowledge and experience with troubleshooting, and inspecting skills, in taking care of my vehicles. Highly recommend classes for a career or just home." - Jesse Quenga

"Best teachers! When I first started I was the only female in class but Brian and Terry made sure I could hang in there with the men and even do better then some, truly greatful." - Samantha Mecham

"Brian, Terry, and James are great guys and teachers. They helped me start a new career and I couldn't be happier about my experience with the automotive department. You will come out of the program knowing more about cars and life. Highly recommended." Kyle Speck

 Caleigh Silva

"Intro to Auto was a great way to learn about the general functioning and layout of cars, especially if you don't know anything. I came in knowing very little since I worked at an auto body which mainly consists of body work and painting; we rarely touch an engine. I can now go to car shows and know what other people are talking about. Brian is an awesome teacher and even though he leaves you alone for a lot of the shop work, he is totally willing to help out if you have any questions. I wish I had the opportunity to take more auto classes here." Caleigh Silva

"Taking automotive classes really boosted my confidence in my abilities with working on cars. Brian and Terry both modify their teaching methods to accommodate all of the different ways that their individual students may learn best. They also teach beyond what the textbook does through personal experiences that help give insight into how a career in the automotive industry essentially works and how to succeed in it. I was originally going to go into the medical field, but chose to follow my passion in cars. I could not be happier with my decision and could not thank Brian, Terry, and James enough for the experience, advice, and expertise I have recieved from attending the classes offered in the LPC Auto Program." Brian Sien
