couple of my friends are going to nashville auto tech in charlotte nc. I just cant afford that ---- and my honda and tr to scrap some cash for some good tools. craftsman ---- just wont cut it day to day, ------ ratchets kill my wrist. REally man research where you wanna go long and hard, spend the money smartly. I signed up the day before it was to late and lucked out on a good school.

I too always used craftsman except for my torque wrenches [digital rules] and specialty tools.Craftsman ratchets I will admit aren't the best but id rather have a nice ride and tools than 15g in tools and a 85 corolla

I went to UTI (chicago campus) in 99-00. Great program, I learned a lot and got really fucked up to boot. The labs and equipment were practically top-notch. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

::cracks knuckles:: ... high school auto shop baby, I think I learned more lessons in life than I did anything about automotive in that class.

2 years at Penn Tech and got my Associates in automotive service. I liked it, I learned a huge amount and a lot of my buddies got jobs at high end dealerships and what not. I just decided I didn't want to bust my knuckles for the rest of my life so am getting another degree in computers while my parents are still paying

I have a few friends who went to automotive school.

I don't know how I personally feel about them. I mean, I wanted to go at one point, but then I changed my mind.

Here's why...

I love working on cars. But, I don't like working on cars that I don't like and I don't like doing repetetive pain-in-the-*** installations. If I could work on turbo civics all day long that would be another story.

As I looked into the industry I realized that the people making the money are not the ones turning the wrenches.

So, instead of going forward with automotive school, I decided to go to business school instead where I could learn to run a business.

I would rather run a successful business and make tons of money so I can build cars in my spare time than work on dodge caravans all day long. That's just my opinion though.
