Shirley Wright Auto Body Collision Estimator

You can start at Automotive Training Centres – Toronto Campus!

My Name is Shirley Wright and I did the Automotive Service Operations Program, which consists of Service Advising, Parts and Collision & Estimating. These modules gave me insight into how the overall industry works.

Service Advising highlights the importance of communication. Collision & Estimating deals with repairs and details for good analysis. Learning Auto Parts deals with components that make up the different systems of a car.

My co-op experience was wonderful, Thanks to Dipa, my Admission Advisor who helped guide me through the process and helped me to reach my career goals.

Thank you to my teacher Marc who has many years of experience and insight in preparing his students for this wonderful industry.
