I just got off the phone with one of their representitives and she told me that they are considered the #1 automotive school in the country. Just wondering what anyone has heard about them.

They've sent me a ton of shtuff about their school....

[LS2ner]

Yea i really want to go. Seems like it would give me alot of good training.

[eViLMunkey]

yeah... just getting the funding for it is the problem I've been having along w/ getting up the tools...

[mocha latte cupcake]

Its a good school, i had a full ride there but didn't get to take it because of family issues.
Wyotech is a good school too. The Basics can be taught in alot of schools but otheres just like to be or say they are better than others.

[kilpatty43]

one of my ex's went there...he loved it...

[ahmonrah]

yeah, i was scheduled to go to UTI in august. but unfortunately i wont be able to attend just yet. i've been on the walk through, talked with a couple of guys that went there, looked through the hotrod uni (which by the way that i had the pleasure of watching my first dyno.... with 450 hp cars that the students built and did all the work themselves. in essence, before i go anywhere eelse that's where i'm going. well either there ot wyotech.

[LS2ner]

yea, seems pretty sweet. If im not mistaken they supply you with tools, and upon graduation they give them to u. 1000 buck set of snap ons

yeha he got to keep all his tools

[kilpatty43]

tank ya!

[mocha latte cupcake]

Yeah but with the price of snap on thats like 2 rachets 10 sockets for each 2 screwdrivers a few wrenchs and a box wrench that only has SNAP O b/c it would have been 100 more dollars for the N.

[Kristi]

lol - sure thing hefy

[Bishop]

Yeah, UTI is really expensive. I was going to go there but no way was i going to pay that much. Looked like a good school though.

[LS2ner]

compared to the atlanta art institute , the 22 thousand a year cost at UTI is very affordable to me lol... AI was going to be around 30k a year. and u go for 3 years

im going to wyotech in january...its 29,400 for the 12 month program. i was just out htere two weeks ago checkin it all out. its a really sweet campus. allthough, theres a few rundown buildings. im taking collision/ refinishing, applied service management (associates degree), and street rod and custom fabrication. the collision/refinishing and street rod is a 9 month deal, and then the service management is 3 months. now if you decide to do just the collision and the applied service management, its like 8k dollars less. but i just decided to go for it and do as much and take as many classes as i can. its expensive, but i know it will pay for itself. ive looked into UTI in the past, but i just dont think that its up to par with wyotech .

If your interseted, here is the lady that enrolled me out in laramie wyoming: Sharon Henley: 1800-521-7158 ext 524

[SLOWR/T]
