Erwin Technical College

We took out car to the adult auto mechanics class to fix a serious front end problem. Other paid mechanics had all failed to find and fix this trouble.

The students at Learey Technical College, under the instruction of Mr. Tom Shindel, found the defective parts. We were provided a list of parts and other things to purchase so the class could complete needed work. They replaced the lower control arm (drivers side) that had been the source of loud banging every time we drove. This was a serious safety issue in our thinking.

Students also change the oil and filter, replaced the A/C cabin air filter, mounted / balanced 5 tires and did a 4 wheel alignment of the car.

The car drives beautifully now same as if it were a new car instead of a 13 year old vehicle. Prior to this work we wanted to get rid of the car, now we want to keep it longer since it drives so quite and straight.

Before this experience with the students going to L:earey Technical College we had been questioning the value of any work done by mechanics students. We could not have been more wrong to question the work they do. Not only did they do a great job they did a better job than several paid mechanics who could not locate the trouble we were having with out car. Those mechanics fixed several things which may not have needed repairs done costing us hundreds of dollars and a lot of lost time.

This is why Learey Technical College gets a 5 star rating from us. They deserve more than 5 stars!
