Consumer Automotive is a course designed to introduce students to the general aspects of buying, owning and operating an automobile. This course has been specifically designed to appeal to both genders and is not intended to be an automotive technician’s course. Topics to be included are financing and car purchasing, new versus used, purchase versus lease, systems of the automobile, emergency preparation, steps to be taken in the event of an accident, and general maintenance will be explored. Lab activities will consist of exercises you, as an automobile owner, will experience in owning and operating a vehicle. The instructor will request the students to do hand on activities similar to the basic car care, general maintenance and emergency repair you will experience when you own an automobile. So if you plan on owning a vehicle this course is for you.
