Getting mech work done by TAFE? Wed, 02 February 2005 06:14 Go to previous message
Hey guys,

I have read how it is possible to take your car to a TAFE and get a respray done by the students, and the labour costs nothing (or at least very little) and you just pay for the paint. I figure they do this in return for volunteering your car to them since it kinda does them a favor as well.

This is just a thought, but I was wondering if they do a similar thing for mechanical work, eg engine swaps, rebuilds etc? I imagine they would also need people to volunteer their cars for this type of hands on work as well. I suppose there is some sort of risk you'd have to be prepared to accept as an owner (they are learning, after all), but is the work done to a reasonable standard? I guess the supervisor/instructor would check to make sure everything is done properly. Or do TAFE just have their own cars?

If there is anyone here actually doing a vehicle mechanics related course at a TAFE (especially in QLD) I'd be interested to hear an insider's view of what happens in regard to this. Thanks!

Cheers,
Matt
