Automotive Technology students seek vehicles to repair this May
It’s that time of year, again! Automotive Technology students need your vehicles this May.
- Brakes rough or squealing?
- Hearing clunks or rattles over bumps?
- “Check Engine” light on?
- Transmission fluid, anti-freeze, and power steering fluid need a flush?
- A/C blowing warm air?
- Belts squeaking and chirping?
- Power window/locks inoperative?
- ABS warning lamp on?
Automotive Technology students can help with these issues — and more! The students can perform maintenance and repairs on most vehicle makes and models that are 2007 model year or newer. Customers pay only for parts and supplies. With no labor charges, the repair costs are half the typical cost. Our session will run for only THREE WEEKS this year, May 6-24. Appointments are limited.
To schedule an appointment, contact Chad Lodenstein clodenst@grcc.edu or Brett Atchison at batchison@grcc.edu.
Recap: InteGReat CC helps employees try new skills at Tassell M-TEC open house
Team members from across GRCC were able to learn more about how the Leslie E. Tassell M-TEC transforms lives through career skills programs.
The event was part of the 2018 Leadership Institute’s InteGReat CC project to share news about great things happening at the college. The event included M-TEC tours, a virtual welding contest, blood pressure readings with a healthcare protective clothing contest, Lean pipe connecting challenges, and a “make and take” step stool project.
Antonio Aguillon finished first in the welding simulation contest, followed by Lila Herdegen and Dave Murray.
Joe Courtade was tops in the Lean pipe assembly, followed by Edward Walker and Brune Garcia.
Angie Ramirez had the best score with the personal protective equipment challenge, with Sonya Hernandez in second.
GRCC Welding crafts guitar sculpture as Metallica ‘thank you’
Shout out to the Welding Department for creating a rock-worthy tribute to the band Metallica in thanks for the welding grant that they recently awarded to GRCC – our welding superstars made a full-size black metal guitar statue as thanks! The metal ‘guitar’ is engraved with the Metallica logo and the words “GRCC Welding.” Metallica guitarist James Hetfield, pictured above, is clearly delighted with the tribute.
Way to go, Welding Dept.!

A Raider Salute from the Tassell M-TEC team:
A special thank you to Elly Bainbridge, Laurie Schaut, Dave Murray, and Klaas Kwant who worked tirelessly to get our video and materials created, printed, produced, and mailed for a national competition – all during a big polar vortex. While many were resting and staying warm, they were working furiously. We are so grateful for your willingness to go above and beyond to make GRCC look great. Thank you!
