I've also heard some good things about Dunwoody. My cousin graduated from UTI Chicago and he jumped right on as a Toyota Tech. You'd definitely have to have a passion for the automotive world. I can't see myself doing/working on other vehicles but if I had a passion for it, it'd be different. I wouldn't mind learning about the automotive stuff, but working on other cars is just isn't my thing.

I graduated from Dunwoody in '06 for Collision repair and refinishing. I'd definitely recommend you look into that school over UTI/Wyotech. Dunwoody isn't as cheap as most of the other local tech schools with automotive programs, but they are much more thoural in the materials they teach. I work with two people who came from Wyotech, and judging by what they have demonstrated, they don't know much other than how to talk up their (lack of) skills.

The dumbest person about cars I know went to Wyotech; that's all I've got to say on the subject.

I am going to Wyotech come September. I know a lot of people say that a lot of dumb people come out of there. But it is what you make it, if you don't pay attention and screw around you will not learn much. I really liked Wyotech because of its optional classes, such as high performance engine and drivetrain, chassis fab and design, hot rod and restoration etc. You will be meeting with Pete assume? If so he is a really nice guy he doesn't try to push you into going and he is very helpful. If you have any questions you can pm me if you. I have also taken a tour of the Blairsville campus and its looks to be a very nice place.

I'd say HTC or DunnWoody

They are local and from what I've seen in the past is the UTI/Wyo applications get put at the bottom of the stack at most shops.
