Has anyone been through a decent automotive technician program in their area? There is a good school near my house, and I was considering classes there this fall, but I just want to know if any of you might know. What are the chances of someone getting a great job at say a dealership or something making decent money, and possibly getting some benefits, retirement, etc. from having experience in a 2 year program at a technical school? If any of you have actually gone through a program and are now a technician "BLLDOGG" is the only one I know of, then defintely let me know. I'm interested. Thanks guys.

Re: Tech School...
Have you tried talking to a service manager at a dealership? Straight up ask what they are looking for as far as education for employees. See what they consider minimums for employment and see what you would need to be set apart from your peers, looking for the same job.

Re: Tech School...
If your close to a community college check them out. The CC I work at has one of the top automotive programs in the country. I think our placement rate is like 98% after graduation and the techs are getting paid pretty good money. As rob said though the best place to get info about a job your thinking about is straight from them. See if you can get a part time job even sweeping floors so your around it when your not at school. The best way to learn anything is to immerse yourself in it.Let's flip a coin. Heads I get tail, Tails I get head.

Part 4: Suspension Mods, Tires, Wheels, Headers and other Cool Stuff.
By: Hib Halverson
At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...02-07-2020, 10:30 PM
