The mission of The School of Cars is to provide a broad education in auto body work, concentrating on car restoration in the craftsman tradition of hands on training so that graduating students may begin their professional life with in shop experience to match their credentials.

Students at The School of Cars will learn in the craftsman tradition of hands on learning as opposed to the modern traditional educational classroom setting.  The first day and the last day of class will take place in a real operating body shop working on real customer cars according to each student skill level. They will be trained by a staff with proven abilities to teach them what it takes to work in the world of the professional auto body shop. Finally, they will work in a Godly training facility with an emphasis on Biblical work ethic and character.
