Every year, a shop class gets a new lift.
Bay One Auto Equipment donates a vehicle lift to a high school or trade-school automotive program each year, so the next generation of techs learns on real equipment.
The trade built this company.
Too many school auto programs are teaching on worn-out equipment, or none at all. Meanwhile, shops across the country can't find enough trained technicians.
As an American, family-run business, we want to help close that gap in the communities we serve. A new lift in a classroom means students learn to work safely and confidently on the same equipment they'll use on the job.
