Anyone attend(ed) Wyotech or know someone that has? I'm torn between this school or UTI down in SoCal. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Joe

 

I work for the company that leases the buildings to Wyotech in West Sac - they have an impressive setup. Even if if you do not end up going there, I would recommend setting up an appointment for a consultation/tour of their place and see if their program will give you what you want.

This is just a fraction of the space they lease from us:

 

Nice pic, it says alot. I've been to the old Sequioa in Fremont and the shop didn't look that big or that clean.

Anyone else?

 

My friend is currently attending Wyotech right now. He's about half way through his nine month program. I'll let him use my user name on here a little later when I see him to have him share his thoughts for you....

 

I have a friend in his first year there. He says it's pretty rigorous. They also want you groomed well, also. Made him get a shorter haircut. Or maybe he was just looking like slob. You also need to buy your own tools. But, they seem very serious about cars there, so that's a good thing, plus they're very willing to help you find a job. Tuition is quite steep, but at least you get good discounts on all Snap-On tools.

 

first off any student in a automotive program gets a ******-on discount, and i honestly think u r throwing ur money away on schools like that. i know what a lot of u will say but the community colleges have excellet programs that are realitivly cheap and u get the same if not better training because its smaller classes, plus u get a degree. i know this is a subaru site but as a ford ASSET grad. u should check out the factory programs, i.e. ford or toyota, as a factory tech u get paid more money and get to specialize in one make, which makes repairs faster which means more money. but u have to invest pretty much ur whole 2.5 years to the programs , but they are definalty worth looking at. just my 2 cents

 

and dealerships are ALWAYS looking for techs who have factory training, ASE's dont mean ****.

 

I would go to UTI im in highschool and we've had presentations on both. and UTI seems like a far better school.... and just wait till october UTI is building a facility in Sacramento...

 

Yea, so like, I'm thinking about going to a trade school. While doin' some research, I saw a school named Wyotech up in Sac. Thought I'd ask ya'll if you have any knowledge of this school? It's automotive technology, fabrication and high performance engine classes. Any thoughts?

 

Way to look about 20 posts down the page...

Yea, thanks. Good thing one of us is intran3t savvy.

 

I went to a automotive trade school... and got left with a 15k loan...LOL.

In hind sight i would of been better off finding a GOOD,..and i stress GOOD ( i don't mean a muffler shop/or a shop without a dyno-smog machine), shop to work @...and learn on hand...and then going to some secondary school after work to brush up on the SMOG/AC/Troubleshooting aspects of the job, gettin ASEs and all that stuff as u go along.

As i stand, i have been workin around cars 10 years now, and i never regret gettin into this line of work....But unlike most people...i went for the high end car lines/smog repairs right off the bat..that way i earn what i need.
Whatever it is, make sure u are @ the top of your game/class.

My 2 cents...
Good luck
