What are opinions on Automotive School UTI?

Answer 1

No. I used to hire from there once in a while, and I know that a lot of others do, as well. A school is only going to be as good as you make it. And, of course what you do after is going to control your success. Do you need a school like uti to get into the field, or to become successful in the field, no. Go to a shop and apply for a lube position, which is about 9-10 bucks an hour, and is an entry level position. From there you will pick up some experience, and you will have the time to pick up your next position, which will most likely be brakes. You can pick up whatever little schooling you need in short night courses, and on the internet, and your employer will probably help you to pay for some of this. A tech has to go to training seminars constantly, and has to keep his ASE certs current. There is a lot of schooling involved in automotive repair, so do not burn yourself out on it too early.
