You are probably better off getting a job at a private shop. The great thing about tech schools(from what I have heard), is you learn everything across the board, not just one car makers electrical, chassis, etc. systems.



Go to lincolntech, only thing is it's now a 3 year school starting up in January. Get in touch with teknics on here, he can tell you the good and the bad about tech schools.

I have had 3 interns from UTI work at the shop, and I have fired every one. Individual experiences may vary. One of them barely spoke english. Another couldn't do coilovers on an EVO and the last one couldn't change all the fluids in an FD in under 6 hrs. All nice guys, just not mechanics. They were all within 4 weeks of graduation, and one was already hired at a Mercedes dealer

I lived in scottsdale (phx area) and literally could count the people that i know who graduated UTI w/ both of my hands.



I knew TONS of people who went to UTI.



Unless you want to work at a dealership taking it in the butt the rest of your life there are faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar better ways to waste $24k or whatever they want.
