Collision Repair was pleased to help host the visit form Bloomington and Kankakee Career Centers! It was a great turnout, and students had the opportunity to create "works of art" in our paint booths.

We were excited to host around 100 automotive students from Bloomington and Kankakee Area Career Centers yesterday who came to tour Parkland's transportation programs. Contact us at [email protected] to schedule your own group tour of our career training facilities.
