I am a UTI Grad out of Phoenix, AZ. It is definitely an expensive school. no doubt about it. and just like any other school, they want your money, i can admit that. but if you take it upon yourself to learn everything you can, use all of their resources they have, and make sure you are the best of the best, its worth it. There are bad students from every school, and UTI is no exception, but for those who really want it, a school like UTI can help you become a terrific technician. thats just my thoughts.

I’ve know experienced mechanics that charge 50 and hour, and even up to 75 an hour. Personally, since i only have about 2 years under my belt as a tech, and I dont even do much side work, i only charge 25 hour. but i really only work for people i know. But that’s just what I charge, most will say thats too low.

hey dude, we all know how you feel. I went to Universal Tech right after high school for automotive/diesel. I started very motivated and really enjoyed learning. but after a while, with the intense school schedule and working 1 or more part time jobs, i got burnt out. I stopped trying really hard. i started showing up late to class, and even missing whole days on occasion. by the end, i was so far behind, as far as what I should have learned, I was scared to get a job only to be bombarded with jobs I couldnt handle. right when i graduated I was offered a full time job at the retailer I had been working at during school, so I took that and did it for over a year. I didnt think I would ever find a job in my degree path. but with with help of my school they found a job opening for a planned maintenance tech at a small forklift sales and repair company. I had never even thought of working on equipment like that. They asked me to come in for an interview, and hired me on the spot(a big leap of faith). it was scary at first, but every day was better than the one before. i regained my motivating for diagnosing and repair these pieces of equipment, that are not much different the traditional autos. I am very thankful that I just stuck through it and found the exact field that would work for me. I dont know if this will help, but its just my story that, at least at this point in time, i would consider a happy ending
