On Friday, December 12, 2025, DMACC Automotive and the Iowa Automobile Dealers Association (IADA) hosted the hands-on portion of the Automotive Skills Test. The competition began back in October with nearly 270 high school students completing a written exam. The top eight schools advanced to Friday’s hands-on challenge, where students demonstrated real-world automotive skills in a live shop environment. More than $20,000 in prizes and scholarships were awarded to support the next generation of automotive professionals. 🎥 Here’s a walk-through video of the competition in action. #DMACC #IADA #AutomotiveEducation #CTE #SkilledTrades #FutureTechnicians
