How It Works

Multiple Schools on One Platform

We work with over 1,000 schools on School Assist with new schools joining every day. If you have schools you’d like to see join the program, let us know. We’ll work to get them signed up. It’s free for schools.

Schools Post Program Updates & Requests

At the beginning of each semester, schools post requests for things they could use help with from shops and dealerships. This may include on-site tours, job shadows, guest speakers, parts or tool donations, part-time employment for students, etc. They also post updates about their program, such as number of students enrolled, classes offered, career day dates, and more.

Shops Assist with School Requests

Shops scroll through school requests and program updates. Shops can message the school directly within School Assist if they are able to help. Even if a school doesn’t have an open request, shops can message them if they’d like to work together. Shops can also post any available resources they have to offer. Instructors are able to browse listed resources and message the shops.

What Our Customers Say

“I want to thank WrenchWay for helping local schools. If it wasn’t for WrenchWay, I’m not sure we would’ve connected with Ben Zimmerman, Automotive Instructor at Verona Area High School. I responded to one of Ben’s requests on WrenchWay School Assist for tool and equipment donations, and our partnership has grown from there.”
Steven Lehl, Mercedes Benz Shop Foreman, Zimbrick European
“Overall, WrenchWay School Assist has been a great resource for our program, and a really valuable tool.”
David Carter, Auto Mechanics Instructor, Great Lakes Adventist Academy
“That’s really the reason we got connected with WrenchWay—to be able to connect with the schools, post items that we have to offer, and respond to school requests. It takes a village to get this done and we can’t do it ourselves. WrenchWay does a great job at connecting the two.”
Michael Hoerstmann, Service Manager, Metro Ford of Madison
“It’s just nice to know that there are other places to reach out to for help and WrenchWay has been the first to offer any type of assistance outside of my administration.”
Richard Wakefield, Instructor, Sanford-Fritch High School

“Our experience has been amazing! WrenchWay has helped us grow our shop and allowed us to reach out to the Seattle School District to get more exposure. Also, WrenchWay has helped us fully staff our shop for both Honda and Toyota!”

Melissa Miller, COO & General Manager, Honda of Seattle & Toyota of Seattle
