Is they any auto school in virginia that is similar to UTI that I could get ASE certification, or some training to go straight into a job?

 

You can try local dealerships, some of them have programs where you work at the dealership doing minor mechanical work while at the same time going to school. After two years or so you come out of school with an ASE certification, and you agree to work at the dealership for a certain amount of time. Afterwards you can move onto where ever you want.

 

advanced technology institute in VA BEACH

 

I am at CCST doing auto body so if anyone in greenbrier is hiring hit me up

 

All the guys at our dealership that do quick lube are all going to ATI I believe. I believe thats where we hire our quick lube guys from, like an internship. I don't think its anything with any sort of agreement, its just like an internship.

 

You could be right. A friend of mine at work was working with me in the back washing cars and then he went and talked to the service manager and now there going to move him to the lube rack and send him to school at TCC to get his associates in automotive and get ASE certified. Im sure different dealers have different ways.

 

Yeah I was just saying how ours is I believe.

 

much easier said then done.

 

you can pay up to 15,000 dollars if you want to go to to ATI or UTI. pretty much if you can go to a dearlership as an apprentice your pretty much set man. i went to AtI and i could have learned all the things i have learned if i went to a dealership. if you know how to read electrical diagrams and wrench on a few things your fine. ATI or UtI can help but after that its actually still pretty difficult to go and find a nice place to work at. Luckily, i myself found a job with SAAB after graduating ATI. ATI did not find that job for me . I did. I was just at a right place at the right time. Well as of now i dont work for saab any more and i had Ase certifications on heating and a/c, brakes, suspension, electrical, and engine. and was also a Bronze level certified SAAB tech but now im in the military. i tell you this as for experience, it is very difficult in the automotive industry.

 

You could go to school working on diesel engines. A few people at work who specialized in diesels ended up working for Carter Cat and all their heavy equipment etc. Just a thought.
