Randolph Community College Students Complete Petty Experience

During the weeks of March 26 and April 3, Petty’s Garage welcomed 14 aspiring automotive technicians from Randolph Community College. The RCC students were broken up in two parts – automotive systems and collision repair.

In order to be eligible for the Petty Experience, students had to maintain an above-average GPA within their departments and show a drive for the education.

Upon arrival at Petty’s Garage, the students learned about the company, its mission, and operations. The students were then able to choose between six areas of focus within the garage to spend their week shadowing and learning: OEM upfitting; restoration modifications; parts and E-commerce management; paint and body shop; performance upgrades; and engine shop.
