Ive been told UTI was actually the best there was.

What would you recommend then? Only other ones i know are nashville and Wyotech

Before I went to SAM I shoudl be knowledgable on all aspects of automobiles though right thus the tech school for a year and hten maybe A more specialized school later on.

You seem to know quite a bit about this so please gimme some suggestions on how i could end up workign at a high perfromance shop in teh shortest time or open my own wihtout screwing stuff up.

Thanks

That's too bad. Not only are they far from "evil", they are the only nationally recognized cert for auto techs. I take great pride in mine, and have kept them current for 15+years. I will admit there are morons in every field, but I have never met anyone that was ASE certified that didn't earn that cert.

Maybe it's a Texas thing?

Take care,
