My Experience at Automotive Tech School

My Experience at Automotive Tech School

As you know I went to Automotive tech school. I attended Universal Technical Institute in 2002. My experience at automotive tech school was great. If not for tech school I would never have become a mechanic, and wouldn’t be doing videos. A lot of you guys have asked me about my experience in tech school, so today we talk about what it was like for me, and what I had to do to attend mechanic school

Today we are looking at some of the things you will not learn at automotive mechanic school. This is episode 124 of The Humble Mechanic Podcast. I have to also say that I went to automotive tech school. I had a great experience there. I learned a ton in my time there, and it helped me form my career as a mechanic. But there are several things that are not covered in tech schools. Today we are going to talk about a few of those things.

A lot of you guys have asked me about my experience in tech school, so today we talk about what it was like for me, and what I had to do to attend mechanic school. My family and I made some choices that many people wouldn’t make. I think I would do it again every single time.

Becoming an automotive technician can be scary. So many unknowns just like coming into any new job. Being a new automotive technician brings some challenges you may not have expected. What do you do about tools? How are you going to get trained? What the heck is flat rate? The list goes on and one. So today Rusty and I talk about some of the experience we have in this area. We also look at what we have seen new guys go through over the years. It’s safe to say, this is not a job for everyone.
