Automotive Training Schools, Inc. (formerly Snap-on Technical Training Solutions) has been conducting first-class quality technical training in Northern California since 1994. We have trained over 10,000 students in our training centers, which makes ATS the largest provider of smog technician training in California. Currently, we have training centers located in Sacramento, Concord and Mountain View.
Our main objective is to provide the best possible training program for individuals that are enthusiatic about obtaining the proper instruction in the "Driveability" and California smog certification field. We feel so strongly about this objective that we offer to all of our students that they can repeat ANY course for NO CHARGE within one year of originally taking the class. (A retest fee may apply). The way we acheive your educational success is simple: We employ only the best instructors available; we utilize only the "best" curriculum available; we keep our class size down so that you can get better attention from the instructor; and we utilize the best diagnostic test equipment and tools available.
The most popular courses ATS offers are the six California Bureau of Automotive Repair smog certification courses. We also offer courses in automotive Air Conditioning systems operations, diagnosis, repair and certification; Automotive engine performance related diagnostic equipment operations (such as Scanner operations, Labscope operations, MODIS operations, etc...); and other automotive electrical, computer systems and engine performance related dignostic courses.
We also offer comprehensive "Driveability" and "Smog certification" training programs for people with little to no automotive experience. We have a very successful training program that begins with basic automotive skills and continues through specific training in automotive electronic and computer systems diagnostics and repair. We then continue through all six California state certified smog courses required by the Bureau of Automotive Repair to obtain an Advanced level smog technician license. We even prepare you for the very difficult state smog examination. You will only find this type of program with Automotive Training Schools, and it is called the A.P.E.T. program(Automotive Performance and Emissions Technology).

And to thank our customers for their continued patronage and support over the years, we are currently providing our own economic "STIMULUS PACKAGE". Because the economy is so difficult right now, we lowered our tuition in November 2008 and have kept the price of all of our classes reduced for your benefit. (cannot be used in conjuction with any other previous package pricing offers).
