Default Universal Technical Institute

I am looking into going to this school to become an Automotive technician. From what I have heard this is a great place to go because companies like BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar, and Porsche are almost guarateed to offer you jobs. I was wondering if any one else has gone here and if they liked it and how it was for them.


Thanks

I graduated from UTI, this was about 8 years ago. After that I got a job at Sterling McCall Toyota. Tuition is freaking expensive, close to $10000, that's just for the automotive courses (not including diesel courses). Was it worth it? I really don't know. I learned a whole lot more working at the dealership than in classes. Alot of the technicians at the dealership where I worked at did not attend UTI, they were smart techs. I guess there is no replacement for experiences. Another thing about UTI, some instructors there are lazy ass. These instructors are just there for the paycheck. There is of course, very good ones also. Is all depends who you get.
