I think you need to work on your spelling and grammar before you attend any type of schooling.

basically. you get access to decent tools and lifts, but you'd prob learn as much just ripping into your own car with a haynes manual.

I'm a believer that getting the required experience on your own via your own projects or apprenticeship is the best way to learn, but if you don't have that route easily available to you then someplace like PTEC or similar community college program would be your second best bet.

I hear Wyotech is good from a couple ppl that have been there. Can't personally say anything about Ptec, never even heard of it.
