Skills USA is a 501c3 organization that sponsors and supports Trade Education across the US. On 1/16 CMA’s Richmond Dealerships were honored to sponsor the District 12 Regional Auto Tech Competition at Rowanty Technical Center in Carson, VA.
9 students from 4 local high schools came together to test their skills In Engine Performance, Steering & Suspension, Brakes, and Electrical Systems.
CMA’s Colonial Honda & CMA’s Colonial Chevrolet created skills challenges and judged events in collaboration with BMUU, Wheelan, and Strosnider Chevrolet.
Students had 10 minutes to read the challenge, formulate a plan, and execute a solution.
Each student was outstanding in their efforts!
Thank you to the families that came out to support their students and thank you to Beth Flory Markwood for supporting our event and handling registration!
Thank you most of all to our dedicated Auto Tech Instructors from Rowanty- Chesterfield Technical Center and Colonial Heights Technical Center! Your pride and dedication to your students and the future of Automotive is greatly appreciated!

Congratulations to our top 4 contestants who demonstrated great thought and strategy and to all of our competitors for a job well done!
