But if you are realatively new to the whole mechanical deal you may be a prime candadate for uti. My only reason for attending uti was to get to their BMW graduate program which I will say made the whole deal worth it, I learned an unbelievable amount of info in 6.5months, and got me a pretty cool career.

But having said that, when I was in the BMW program there was a student from the boston area that had attended New England Tech and he had also had a pretty good mech. background before school and he spoke highly of new england tech. so I see you are in Mass. so you may want to check them out as well.

I did a google search and came up with the following website

hope this helps
Hey thanks a lot JUSTANOVA!!! I really appreciate the link and time you put into for me. I had looked at that school, but it's a ways for me to get there day in and day out. UTI is literally about 20 minutes from me, whereas NET is about 50 minutes away. PLUS, I drive a Dodge Hemi Ram and that thing is "not nice" on the gas consumption. LOL!! (I am currently layed off, that is why I am considering a career move, not complaining about the gas consumption here.)
I have no automotive skills at all and would like to persue a career in it, especially restoring/building muscle & pro-touring cars.
I appreciate the other guys comments as well. As of now, I'm in the air about going. Again, thank you!!!
