Tech School ?s
I am getting out of high school in 2 years and I want to be a mechanic. We have a tech school right next to the high school that i can take an auto tech class for free. But after that I dont know where to go. I was thinking about Wyotech or Nashville Auto/Diesel. What have you guys herd about these schools. Which one is the best. I there any better auto programs out there. Thanks.

There are many good tech schools that offer degrees and certification in automotive technology. Wyoming, Nashville, Lincoln, etc. All are fairly pricey but most have financial aid. Decide what area of auto mechanics you want to specialize in and then do your research on the internet and choose based on what will give you the degree you want. Make sure all programs are ASE certified.

I'm attending Denver Automotive and Diesel College. They have had their share of problems, but they have some new management and are moving to a new facility sometime in 2005. From what i've heard and read, the instructors average more years in the automotive industry than most other schools. Some of the equipment is out of date, but most of it is current. I believe the new facility will have all new equipment. www.dadc.com

Check wisely
There are alot of great ones around the country. WYotech is one of the best , Kansas has a great program at pittsburgh as well as one that used to be endorsed by jay leno (tonight Show) fame at I believe Pratt, nickerson, or Hutchinson -- just do a search . that one is from model t's on--. Good luck

Just to plug my home state, Oklahoma State (you know, 20k student Big XII school who or my rivals 
) has a 2 year tech campus with automotive programs:
http://www.osu-okmulgee.edu/
GM, Ford, Chrystler, Nissan, Toyota, Pro-Tech (independant certification), Collision... not to mention tons more diesel and heavy equip stuff. All programs result in an associate degree as well. VERY reasonably priced.
Not to mention that there are degrees in like Jewelry and Hospitality, so there are also tons of womens on the campus
I am in no way affiliated with the school (in fact I go to the other state Univ: OU), but I know aquaintances who studied there and really liked it and they education they received.

Here's a full list of programs:
http://www.osu-okmulgee.edu/academic...of_study.shtml
They have Electroncs Engineering, as well as two related options in construction (Electrical and 'high-woltage electricity').
Certainly the webpage could tell you more than I could about the programs
Oh, and btw I went to OSU (in Stillwater) for 2 years before is transferred to OU. The Electrical Engineering Tech. degree there (separate from "plain old" Elec. Engr.) is quite popular and has a strong group of students, professors, and advisors. Maybe had I chosen that instead of EE then I would have stayed with engineering!
I would check that out as well; TCC has the 1st two years of the EETech degree available.
Seems your options are limitless
