So I was reading up on the Automotive tech school, UTI, and it seemed pretty reputable. I was just curious as to what some of you guys thought about UTI. And if you could, let me know of any other schools I may be interested in. I have a broad, but limited knowledge of engines and electronics, and I'm not really sure which direction I want to go. I also realize they have manufacturer specific "academys" associated with UTI. Are these actually worth it?

 

pm'ed

 

i know i would like to end up at wyo-tech to learn how to do chassis and race engines.i know alot more then most about race engines.but i've never put a bottom end together.

 

I plan on going to UTI next fall and have been researching the shit out of it. UTI is, in my opinion, the best automotive school in the USA.

They have many programs, including diesel, NASCAR, Hot-Rod U, and many manufacturer programs including but not limited to, BMW, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Volvo, etc.

 

Might want to point out that there is more then one campus and only some courses are offered at certain campus's. I know nascar is only offered at the campus in NC for instance.

 

yeah there is a UTI in Orlando..i got a couple buddies goin there in spring..
i heard that its pretty good but i classes fill up fast..its on OBT i think..
too far for me..but it would be worth it if you are goning to be a professional at a dealership..Have Fun!

 

Yea, I am not really concerned about which campus I will be attending. Although I would like to be able to take all the classes I need at the Orlando campus!



what...?

I also saw the "Power and Performance" classes by Hot-Rod Mag and Super Street.... I hope Super Street's classes aren't as bad as there magazine....

 

obt = orange blossum trail. That's the road it's off of. From tampa have about a 2hr drive if no traffic.

 

pshhh..IF there is no traffic..which i would highly doubt!
the place looks pretty nice though

 

Depending on your class schedule plan on atleast 3+hrs travel each way if you live in the tampa area. Best start looking for a place to live in orlando.
