About Mach 1 Mentoring
Mach 1 Mentoring - Since 2014
The founder has had a passion for cars since he was a child. His unique experiences and love for cars have brought us all together to share his passion. We at Mach 1 Mentoring are extending that love to the next generation while giving them a platform to learn a marketable skill. Our mission is to teach at-risk youth and young adults, basic auto mechanics, up to total auto restoration while mentoring them. We have a varied collection of cars that our students work on. We expand our knowledge to include work on more modern-day models as well. So our students are well-rounded in their automotive understanding.
What We Look For
All cars pre-1990 are welcome. We pride ourselves on the diversity our automotive mentoring program has to offer. Not only is the novice welcome to participate, but we also invite women and veterans as well as gear heads!
Our Programs
Mach 1 Mentoring is achieving more with our initiatives than ever before. At our auto shop we work on many exciting projects to help improve the lives of others, and are very proud of the progress we continue to make. We currently have several automotive program models:
Tools - The Basics
Some of our students come into the auto shop with little to no tool knowledge. At Mach 1 Mentoring we educate them on the right tool for the job, along with its proper safe use. Simple math and reading skills are reinforced.
Basic Auto Mechanics
At Mach 1 Mentoring, our goal is to promote great opportunities for those in need. In our Basic Auto Mechanics instruction, our students get hands-on training in general automotive maintenance. With access to the right resources, people can become empowered by their abilities and gain the confidence to fulfill their potential.
Automobile Restoration
Understanding of the automobile and the parts to make it work are discussed along with basic geometry. Specialization of automotive areas- interior, exterior, engine, and undercarriage are reviewed to give the student a direction of what they may have interest in. Hands-on in the auto shop is then given in the chosen auto area. Basic welding and painting along with auto body repair are also available for the student.
