Auto body repair classes in New York
2 auto body programs with results and funding that can make them free
2 schools offer these auto body repair programs, and New York has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows how past students did; New York files no usable prices.
Automotive body repairers restore, refinish and replace vehicle bodies and frames; glass repairers replace windshields and window glass. Most employers prefer workers who have finished a collision repair program, which trade and technical schools usually run as a 6-month to 1-year certificate and some community colleges as a 2-year program; new workers still need 2 or 3 years on the job to work independently, and certification is recommended though not required.1 Body shops covered by a federal air rule must train and certify everyone who spray-paints vehicles within 180 days of hiring, in spray gun setup and technique and spray booth upkeep, with refresher training every five years.2
In New York, both programs take students without a high school diploma.
Both are the same kind of program: auto body certificate or diploma.

Where the New York auto body repair program numbers come from
Which New York auto body repair programs are on this list?
These are the auto body repair programs New York approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).10 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what New York offers.
How the prices and results of New York auto body repair programs are measured
Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
How reliable are the New York figures?
The US Department of Labor's own results site lists New York among the states with "known data quality concerns".11 The figures here are shown as the state reported them; check them with the school before you enroll.
