Students in the Auto Services Technology program diagnose, maintain, and repair a wide range of vehicles.

Meet the instructor
David Beachler is the Auto Services Technology program instructor. Mr. Beachler has been at TCTC since 2017, and he worked in the industry for 28 years before joining our team.
Mr. Beachler is an amazing teacher who teaches us everything we need to know very well. I enjoy working on tires, taking them off the rim, and balancing them. I’ve learned so much about tires, the complete braking system, and suspension. After high school, I want to be a diesel technician and this program is preparing me for further education after I graduate.
