Vocational High School (SMK) is a High School that targets the formation of character and skills for its graduates. The learning system in Vocational School that includes practical material makes Vocational School graduates ready to use and able to work and even create jobs. So that Vocational School graduates are targeted to be able to contribute to the local economy. Very contradictory conditions were found at the Muhammadiyah Karangkobar Vocational School, that still overwhelmed by the problem of limited learning support practice equipment. This condition is of course not very good considering that the output of Vocational School students is skills that should be acquired through a structured and systematic practicum process. The solutions to these problems are, firstly, providing supporting equipment technology grants in practice, especially periodic maintenance of light automotive vehicles and providing training to teachers and students of the Muhammadiyah Karangkobar Vocational School on periodic maintenance and light vehicle tune-ups. The implementation of periodic service skills training and light vehicle tune-ups for teachers and students of Muhammadiyah Karangkobar Vocational School has a significant impact on students' knowledge and skills which in the short term can support them in facing the national vocational competency exam, and later it is hoped that it will be useful for graduates while living in middle of society
