What is Collision Repair Technology?

A collision repair technician is someone who is trained to fix the exterior of cars and other vehicles. Although that is the primary skill that is taught with this career path, it’s far from the only thing you could learn. Along with fixing the outside body of cars, you could also help by repairing a variety of internal components of a damaged vehicle. With the wide variety of skills that could come with this profession, there may be multiple work settings for you to choose for your personalized career.
