that was weak hfawk:

 

I start Mechanic school in September

 

Not to talk trash but why waste your money on a tech school?
I AM ASE certified in

Automotive
Brakes
Suspension
Engine Performance
Manual Transmission & EPA 509 certified for Freon Recovery

When I worked for Jaguar we got grads straight out of UTI who could not even change oil let alone a whole motor. We found they could not cope with working in a busy shop with the stress and cars lined up out the bay Vs one car at a tech school. Being an auto mechanic sadly is part racing to get work done, its a fast production job where time is your's and the shops money thats something you won't learn in school. And IM nolonger a mechanic, the nice thing is the shop I once worked at calls every month asking if I will come back.
Even more worse is I now make more money selling plumbing parts while going to college.

My words of advise go to work in a shop as a grunt and find out if its for you. The training that can be had in the field is a 100x better then a tech school

 

My entire 2 year program costs a total of $5k. December I start working at a Toyota dealership of which I will be paid to do so. I learn in the classroom how to fix things, then I go to the dealer and actually do it. All those big name mechanic schools are crap since they give you no experience. With my program you work 2 years at a dealership. And since you need 2 years work experience to get ASE certified once you pass this program you automatically become certified.

 

hmm
