Automotive Service Councils of California Announces New Automotive Technology Program at Cuyamaca College

ASCCA is proud to announce its new Automotive Technology program at Cuyamaca College. This two-year degree program will help prepare students for a career in the automotive repair industry by helping them develop technical and manual skills required for the job. To ensure a well-rounded curriculum, local ASCCA member shops will work with students to give them hands-on experience in the field.

ASCCA will also announce an Education/Career Summit that will take place at Cuyamaca College on September 7, 2018. This effort is to help the college refine the curriculum and work together to place graduates with ASCCA shops.

Kevin began his automotive career at the age of 14, pushing a broom in a mom and pop shop in Rhode Island. He attended trade school, graduating at the top of his class and went right to work as a tech in a prestigious Porsche/Audi dealership in Cape Cod. Kevin continued his dealership work when he moved to NY and eventually came to work for two brothers who owned Foreign Car Specialists. When the owners retired in 1995, Kevin bought the business and the rest is history.
