I attend UTI in Glendale Heights, IL. i feel it is more for someone who is looking into a career, not just working on your own car or becaoming a DIYer. i have also taken a basic automotives class at the local collage. it was more of a learn a little bit about everything type class. i alot better for the weekend warrior mechanics.

and curtis, i'm sorry to say there is no body class at my UTI, one or two other campuses do have colision repair classes. its kinda silly in my mind. they teach us to adjust carburatiors, reprogram computers, dyno test engines and transmissions, perform electrical testing, but never once do we touch a bumper or a door panel
