Tech Garage is a how-to show focusing on theory, operation and diagnostics of vehicle systems. The series has aired since January 2015. Season 4 will air at 7:30 a.m. CST on Sundays starting Jan. 7. The show also is available on the web. Episodes are filmed at Chipola College.
Chipola’s Gardner is no stranger to the camera. Since 2013, he and fellow automotive instructor Chase Vlieg, have been making training videos on the national level for industry and education. Gardner says, “As an instructor, it is my goal to make educational material available to instructors as a classroom resource. Masters Entertainment Group is producing the show from Jan 2015 through 2020 so that instructor and schools can access the 22 minute programs free of charge.
