Default Auto tech as a career... Where to start?

Anyone know any colleges or programs with dealerships that i could look into or read up about online? I plan on looking into HCC and St Pete College and i saw ATI had a program but i'm looking for others just to keep my options open

Ther's UTI, a universal auto tech school. Also, to become a dealership mechanic, each make offers a training program to get you specifically trained for their cars. You can usually find them by browsing their websites.
