In September we stopped planning a building and started building one. We closed on 2.07 acres, got our permits, and started construction. Round Top State Bank's $370,000 financing and $240,000 in gifts and awarded grants put more than $610,000 behind the build, and our first student cohort begins in October.

If students want to engage as a restoration technician after completing the Tach-Tech3 certification program, working with the Renown Auto Restoration team is a great way to proceed.

Rudy’s Quinones passion for cars began at his grandfather’s service station in El Paso, Texas in the 1970’s. Tinkering with cars in high school generated his passion for classic cars of the 1950’s, 1960’s and 1970’s. After years of balancing school and a full-time job, Rudy obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering. This opened a new career path that transitioned him from a Master Mechanic to Facility Engineer for UPS in San Antonio. Rudy’s love for the automotive environment persuaded him to find the entrepreneur side of himself as owner-operator of Kwik Kar L**e & Tune of San Antonio for ten years before purchasing Renown Auto Restoration in 2013. Getting back to the roots of his automotive passions has not only fulfilled his dreams, but those of every one of his customers.

Renown Auto Restoration provides a fantastic pathway for Tach-Tech3 team members to work with his dynamic team who share the passion for their customers’ projects! Renown’s team demonstrates leadership, efficiency, versatility, teamwork, accountability and has an uncompromising work ethic.

Need not be male to Apply. Join the Tach-Tech3 Team. Female involvement in the automotive industry, and more specifically the classic automotive customization and restoration industry, is increasing. It is not just for boys any more.

The Bureau of Labor and Statistics reports that women make up just 12.1% of the automotive workforce, up from just 1,4% in the last 25 years. And females in automotive manufacturing make up just 26.7% of the automotive and heavy equipment manufacturing workforce. Yet an estimated 65% of car buyers are female.

This is a significant opportunity for women where there is currently a high demand for skilled labor, a demand that according to Market Scale outpaces supply by a ratio of 5 to 1. Synchrony forecasts a global shortage by 2030 in the manufacturing industry of approximately 2.1 million workers. This shortage represents an enormous opportunity for women with automotive skills in an industry where only 8% of industry executives are women.

Tach-Tech3 can provide exposure to the car craft, while providing the skills Pew Research cites as the most in demand among employers - analytical, interpersonal, communication, collaboration and critical-thinking skills. The very skills you can acquire early at Tach-Tech3 Foundation.
