Miranda Dudgeon
This school changed my life. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the help of instructors and staff and the invaluable knowledge I gained while I was here. Thank you AAI 5 stars to you!!! I am feeling very nostalgic since I’ll be graduating soon I’m really excited to finally be a certified automotive tech but I’m also sad to say goodbye. I’ve made so many connections within the industry and friends I’ll keep with me for a lifetime.
