im getting ready to head off to UTI soon, i have sat in the back for about 12min of a few classes and it seemed quite professional. they assign every student their own tranny, and engine block to learn on, and they have a MASSIVE collection of front car clips to do diagnostics on. its 4 month old campos in PA. I am extremely excited. im sorry to hear it didnt work out for you though. i suppose the best thing to do is, use the schools name to get a good job and just advance as much as you possibly can. or see if your dad will aloow a joint partner ship with his shop, hope it works out for ya. :cheers:
