Description

Never pay for repairs again. Learn how to perform maintenance, tune-up, and repair 1 or 2-cylinder gas-powered engines. The need for repair technicians specializing in small engines has skyrocketed in recent years thanks to the overwhelming popularity of power tools.

You can often learn this skill on the job, but employers tend to favor hires with some prior training.

This hands-on introductory course combines theory with practical experience to provide you with the necessary skills to perform maintenance, tune-up, and repair of 1 or 2-cylinder gas-powered engines.

Who Should Attend?

Those who want to be prepared to take their Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) exam and those who rely on tools like lawnmowers, chain saws, rotary tillers, etc. for their business. Bring in your own engine for free repair and maintenance and learn how to keep your equipment good as new by applying what you learned on your own equipment.
