Auto Tech Schools

vetteeatr · 11-05-2002, 05:38 PM

Hello I have been calling a few auto technical schools lately kinda getting the scoop on options. Im thinking UTI is gonan be the best so far due to a more known name and also they have many programs wiht manufacturers of automobiles. I was wonderin what oyu guys thoguht he best schools were?

Also i was looking into nahsville auto-diesel college
and ive also hear do wyotech which i havent looked into althoguh supoosedly is one of the best.

Any Insights?

The Cost is all wiht a few grand for all training and the time required to complete is nearly the same as well.

Thanks

UTI is excellent, but what matters is you. You can get just as good at your local cc if you are willing to work hard, and ask questions.

Take care,

I've heard WyoTech is more a pain in the butt than a good education. I have a few friends who go there, and they say that you are rushed to learn everything that it all flies over your head. A good thing about WyoTech though is that it trains you a lot in the business side of the job compared to JUST the work... I think WyoTech is a little more expensive than most other places, also. My sister goes to the University of Wyoming, which is located in Laramie along with WyoTech. It's about 2 hours west down I80 from where I live.

Had a guy from Wyotech come and speak to my auto-tech class. To me it sounds like a pretty good school to go to. Guy was real nice and very knowledgable.....but again don't know enough to give much info. Also got something in the mail for auto-deisel college of nashville......u get a 112 peice snap-on tool set when u graduate

UTI sounds like your best bet. I see that your from Illinois. The closest one to you then is in Glendale Heights, Illinois. I was planning to go there myself but the money wasn't there. They teach you stuff in cars, diesels, etc. Basically whatever your wanting to learn. I think that they also have classes in chassis fabrication but I'm not 100 % on that.

Hope that this helps a little.

Daniel.
