Introduction to Automotive Shop Practices

• Tool requirements are very minimal for this course.
• They should be in a portable carrying case because tools will not be stored in the lab for this class.
• Tools will not be needed until halfway thru the course.
• Purchase options and recommendations will be discussed in class.
• Other tool purchases may be required to perform specific pre-approved tasks toward the end of the semester.
