UTI is well known. However, the education alone isn't all you need. You need the ability to do the work properly. If you're no good, you won't make money. If you're good, you'll make a lot of money. Good body guys can make a killing... The best ones, and the smartest ones, open their own shop.

I was plannin on goin to UTI. I was going for the automotive with nissan program which cost $29,000. Decided to not go and just go to a community college n learn the same thing for $4,500.

A lot of money for careers that dont pay nearley as much as they claim.

Yeah, sure you can be a cert. tech for Porsche or Benz or whatever. But have fun finding that position open.

Not worth it. The industry just doesn't pay enough. You are better off getting you hat in the door on the diesel side.

UTI = waste of money



there is one here and its just an overcharged degree you can get at any other school. dont waste your time or money

I went to uti and I also took the bmw fasttrack program and now I work at a bmw dealer and a certified tech , also last year I made about 40-45k its an okay school you use all the latest technology in the automotive industry but I paid 28k for it thats the only down fall I think its like 24-28k now if you really dont know anything about cars and want to learn and will finish all the courses do it if you want but looking back to it I wouldnt of gone for that price

Antibiotics will clear it right up...... JK in all seriousness i worked as a apprentice at a body shop one summer, basically doing bitch work like washing cars, replacing bumpers and cracked headlights and prepping stuff to be painted. Most bodymen get payed well, but like anything else you get paid for how hard you work.

Please keep your opinions quiet. Regardless of the reason for the ban, flaming is flaming.

technical schools are a waste of cash.

Im paying $24,000 just for a simple associates degree in automotive. one I couldve gotten in a regular college for alot less.
