Honolulu Community College — Automotive Technology and Diesel Mechanics

Honolulu CC’s automotive and diesel programs use a dedicated training site at 445 Kokea Street, in Buildings 43 and 44. The official map separates it from the Dillingham campus and lists Lot 8 alongside two distinct contacts: one for Automotive Technology and one for Diesel Mechanics. That division is useful before a first visit, because advising about a major, a lab or a shop class may belong to a different office than general admissions.

The college’s program directory lists Automotive Technology and Diesel Mechanics as career and technical fields with associate and certificate pathways. Their workshop-based instruction is designed around equipment and maintenance practice rather than a conventional lecture-only timetable. Program credits, prerequisites, lab sequence and credential length vary; consult the 2026–27 catalog and speak with the department before estimating whether a certificate or associate degree best fits your goal. The college notes that transportation programs emphasize hands-on facilities and instructors with industry experience. Compare the current program list and contact the appropriate shop office using the official campus map.

Kokea Street is a short drive from the main campus area but is a different destination. The address and separate automotive and diesel phone numbers appear on the college’s current map. Parking is not an assumption: Honolulu CC requires a permit or pass on its locations, and the map assigns Lot 8 to this site. Confirm which entrance and lot your class uses, and check current bus connections with TheBus if you are not driving. The college-wide logo is shared here; no site-specific photo was attached because the available official image set identifies the main campus rather than this shop building.
