I am looking to learn about cars hands on during summer. Any oppertunities?

Are you old enough for a job? Call around to some mechanics and see if you can do any assisting. Or better yet, seek out some auto classes at a community college.

Im actually at work right now at a dealership. But to my knowledge no one is hiring a 17 yr old assistant at a dealership as large as this one. I think my best bet would be a community college. Thanks for the advice

There you go! Good luck.

You could also spend your summer learning about spelling and grammar.

If you want to learn about cars you either need to go to a trade school, go to college to be an automotive engineer, or buy a project car and get started.

The shop foreman or service director of your dealership will be a good source to recommend successful vocational schools and areas of popular training for you.
