Motor Vehicle Body Repairer (Automotive Collision Repair Technician) Apprenticeship Program Schedules

An Automotive Collision Repair Technician is designated as a Motor Vehicle Body Repairer under the Inter-provincial Red Seal program. Prior to beginning repairs, an Automotive Collision Repair Technician prepares or reviews motor vehicle repair estimate reports to determine what needs to be fixed. During the course of these repairs, collision repair technicians will hammer out dents, buckles and other defects, remove damaged fenders, panels and grills and straighten bent frames. The work may also include repairing and replacing doors, front-end body and body components as well as interior components such as instrument panels and frame assemblies. This work is done as preparation for filing, grinding, sanding and painting the repaired exterior and interior body surfaces. Once these repairs are completed, Automotive Collision Repair Technicians inspect vehicles for dimensional accuracy and test drive them to ensure proper alignment and handling. Automotive Collision Repair Technicians must be willing to continually learn because new vehicles often include new alloys, metals and plastics in their construction.
