how much does that school go for these days? Back about 6 yrs ago when I was first getting into the auto business I was gonna go to a school like wyotech and ended up being more impressed with UTI. These schools are a fortune these days.

I went in 97, I think its a waste of money. I learned everything in my high school autobody class. They didnt teach us anything new there.

i've heard that. they sure have a sales pitch, ill say that much. we get kids that go to these schools working at some of the places i've been and they dont make any money. The school jus shows them how to do things that absolute to the last detail way of doing things. Hence why they are slow and under deliver. real world experience is the best.

i was thinking of going to wyotech but i thought after reseaching that u.t.i. would be just as good and alittle less expensive.

im anxious to see what this thread reveals....

my opinion is that UTI is the better of the 2 schools if you wanna be an auto technician. They have backing from all the auto manufacturers. Wyotech is more for fabrication kind of kids.

i thought that was true because wyo really pushes their rat rod and and custom courses. thats cool and all, but im concerned about power, not shaved door handles....

I'm a Wyotech student at the West Sacramento, Ca campus. I was a student at the Laramie campus in 2001 and I didn't like it one single bit outside of school. If I were you, I'd look into the West Sacramento campus before you make your decision.

You want Hot Rod U which is at UTI then. Either that, or SAM. The Schoolfor Automotive Machinists.

I went to UTI in Illinois.

**blue02Z** · 05-03-2007, 05:59 PM

I went to NADC. Nashville Auto Diesel College. I went for gas engines, diesel engines, heavy duty/ light duty drivetrain, transmission, welding, hydraulics, and quite a few others.

Then at the end I decided to go for the High-Performance gas engine 10 week course. That was the best thing I have ever done. The most fun class I have ever been threw. Learned so much, even though Im not using that in my career path as of now. I still loved it.

I didnt have to go, my dad used to teach the place here in PA thats now Wyotech... I restore cars as a profession, Id say its good for a piece of paper. I learned far more on my own than any school could teach me.

**Hi-Po** · 05-03-2007, 08:16 PM

agreed. Nothing beats experience.
