are automotive tech schools better then local apprenticeship programs? I will mostly be doing oil changes,lube tech,tires and other misc. things around the shop,while I learn here and there while working on a CD program in my personal time,I will get paid like a normal job.Or should I just consider going to an actual tech school and just learn all the basics in about 2 years?

 

Attend your local Community College automotive program, you'll save a small fortune in tuition costs, probably learn just as much if not more, and all your core credits (Reading, writing, math) can transfer to other, more advance AA/BA degrees if (and most likely when) you decide to change careers.

 

Best advice evar!

 

Agreed

 

Look into the PACT program at any of the community colleges that offer it.

 

Thats where I received my training. VERY good ,in depth program. You are required to get an AA in order to graduate. I was in the Class of '2000
