I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

this is my opinion and opinion of many mechanics... DONT GO TO A MECHANICS SCHOOL. its a huge waste of money. just go to a tech school, they rip you off way less. also another thing is that if you go work for a company that you love right now, you will learn to dispise it. speciality is the route for your craziness in life. You will prolly like what you do for a year or two, but after working on the same car with the same problem day in and day out, you WILL want to shoot yourself in the face.

i just go to the local Adult school and take a auto class a couple nights outta the week...way cheaper and you get experiece...but i am in no way trying to pursue a career in automotive technology. im with everyone else so far...go to a tech school, my cousin went to one in arizona for 18 months, came back and within a week he had a job at Ford.....he says as long as you get ASE certified thats all that really matters.

best of luck :up:

do not go to a school like uti, they rape you on money. 24k for a year of school? i think not. and its a fucking joke of a school. drug tests, cant have tattoos showing, your hair has to be short, its a fucking joke. and the teachers are all bitch ass and are dicks. they say they are preparing you for the real world, but i have not come across one job that wont let you have any of those going on in your life

Ok I appreciate someone having a brain on here. What school do you go to? I really dont care if I have to "keep my hair short" or "Not show any tattoos" Im a grown man I think I can deal with those rules. Besides I ve been in the military for the past 4 years Im kind of used to the whole short hair thing. Plus I have Tuition Assistance (my college is paid for). Let me know what you got...

I go to Madison Area Technical college. check out the website http://www.matcmadison.edu/auto

No restrictions on hair cuts, tatoes, dress code etc. Its a 2 year program that i come out with an Associates degree and also counts as 1 year work experience toward ASE certification. So if u work part time and go to school for 2 years by the time u graduate u have ur 2 years needed and can get ASE certified right away.

Classes are small, teachers are awesome and know thier shit. I guess it all depends on where you go. but def. avoid UTI or Ohio tech or WYOtech
