I" just started to drive the 1993 Ford Escort your auto group did all the work on, it’s great thank you. I felt confident enough to let my daughter take it to NIU for the weekend, I was leery of driving it anything but short distances, but since your team did all this good work, I know feel pretty comfortable driving my almost 20 year old car. THANKS!"

"Hey LTCC, thanks again for the oil change on my car. I think this program is a great idea. I feel that the kids will learn more from a hands on experience than opening a text book. I also loved the convenience of having my car done while I'm at work. The kids were great, and I will be back again. Thanks, Kathy S.A."

"As an LT teacher, I was traveling from LT South Campus over to LT North Campus near the end of the school day. When I got out of my car in the parking lot I noticed that my front tire was seriously flat and I remembered that I still need to renew my AAA auto club membership! Knowing that I had limited time before I needed to be teaching, I remembered hearing that the auto mechanics classes had been doing maintenance work and repairs so I went over to see if they could help. "
"What a great experience! As soon as I described my problem, the teacher dispatched five kids along with appropriate tools. A few of them started to remove the flat while the others figured out how to get my spare out from its suspended state under my van. They were efficient and happy to help even as they stood outside in the cold. My spare was put on and the nuts tightened to the proper tightness in a star pattern with a torque wrench. It couldn’t have been done better. The students were very professional and strikingly polite. Now I wonder why none of the teenagers in my classes call me “ma’am.”
"In the future I will make a point of taking any car issue I can to the auto mechanics program. It was great to see the students gaining experience at the same time as they were literally coming to my rescue. I will also recommend them to anyone and everyone. They can already expect a call about replacing the shocks and struts for a fellow teacher."

"LTCC is excellent. I cannot recommend it highly enough! It’s wonderful to be able to drive to work, leave your car for the day, and pick it up at the end of the day, all fixed! They took care of a problem on my car that had been lingering for a long time. Exceptional service and great prices too! And you’re supporting the program at LT."
