Newsletter headline: Under the hood: Inside Greenville Tech’s McKinney Automotive Center

When it comes to learning a skilled trade, there’s no substitute for hands-on experience. Recently, our editor suited up alongside students at Greenville Technical College’s McKinney Regional Automotive Center for a day of training — from paint-matching and blending to repairing dents and checking diagnostics.

Inside the state-of-the-art facility, students gain real-world experience using advanced tools and technology, including welding stations, automotive paint booths, vehicle lifts, and electronic diagnostic equipment. The programs: Auto Body Repair, Automotive Technology, Diesel Equipment Technology — prepare graduates to step directly into high-demand careers.

Industry growth continues to drive strong job opportunities for trained technicians, and Greenville Tech’s graduates are among the most sought-after in the field. In fact, the college offers South Carolina’s only specialized training programs for GM and Honda/Acura.
