How to become a Mechanic without School? | Universal Technical Institute UTI Review from Shop Owner

[@devinhughes7803]

For those who are looking for mechnic stuff without school.... 10 years ago I walked into my local marine repair shop and asked the manager if I could volunteer there a few days and clean the shop and do some basic things if they would teach me about being a boat mechanic. 2 weeks later he was letting me to standard maintenance with a mechanic watching me and after a month they offered me a position being an "intern" where I just did the oil changes and cleaning motors and helping the mechnics out. Now I'm a full time mechanic and do everything under the sun! An education means a lot to people NOT in this world, experience and a WILLINGNESS TO WORK and ATTITUDE TO WORKING speaks far louder than any mechanics degree. It's a lot like Doctors, all that schooling didn't help you if you can't save anyone

[@bundysgarage]

That is so awesome man! Love your story. Wish more guys had the balls to walk into a shop with an eagerness to learn, like you did, and just tell the owner, I'll sweep floors to start just teach me and guide me. That's a badass story!

[@janetgreenslade6478]

I was thinking of trying that at a motorcycle repair garage. Worth a try

[@Usef320]

My biggest advice for you is dont let bad experiences ruin it for you. Its a great job but there are alot of shit shops that rob you out of your time for no money.

[@theknight45videos]

@@Usef320 haha it’s funny you say that. I made this comment over a year ago, and the guy I worked for ended up being a complete psycho and was screaming at me everyday. Definitely the worst job I ever worked. Since then I worked at a dealership which was great but we all got fired cuz of corona, and now I’m working at a new gas station shop right around the corner from the first gas station shop I worked at

[@Usef320]

@@theknight45videos When I started out as a lube tech for valvoline, my tools would get stolen damn near every day and I knew who was taking them. When I asked my boss to do something about it he said that he would never do such a thing and that I should keep better track of my tools. I went over into my co workers bay and found my tools laying on top of his box, and When I confronted him about it I got laid off. I wanted to take them to court over losing my job and over $600 in tools but I was already in so much debt that I couldnt spend time and money on that. I moved passed that and left everything behind and went on to a toyota dealer as a flat rate tech and I couldnt be happier. Its all about thinking where you want to be in the future, had I completely quit this business I would probably be stuck in trade school for something i didnt wanna do or flipping whoppers.

[@666mcdonalds]

I never went to trade school or UTI. Worked at an America's Tire as a tire tech for 3 years. Took a chance and applied to a luxury dealer nearby. A few months later, they call me and got hired as an apprentice. It's been 7 years since I've completed my apprenticeship. I'm eternally grateful for the opportunity the fixed ops director gave me and the mentor tech who showed me the ropes. A good attitude and will to learn goes a long way.

[@bundysgarage]

Great story! Which luxury brand do you work for?

[@michaelvillanueva240]

I go to mechanic school at the community college my instructors told me that anybody can assemble and disassemble anything but the most important thing is knowing the right tools to use and how parts works to know how to diagnose things

[@amoreholliday]

You guys there is so much ways to get experience. Save your money and do your own basic maintenance. Go to the junk yards and take the cars apart. Do research about how a car works, how parts work. Then put it as skills on your resume. Get into a shop and start out scrubbing the floor. If you don't want to do all this to be a tech/mechanic maybe you should find something youre passionate about because if you really want this you are going to work on cars regardless of a job or not. I currently work PT at autozone it's a good place to get knowledge if you already know the basics because you learn products best for a car, oil, you change batteries, lights, and you learn all the parts of a car.

[@amoreholliday]

I'll add knowing the smallest car parts will be beneficial when taking a car apart at a junkyard because then you can tell yourself "so that's where that goes"

[@rehtrovic2769]

I was expecting like a job at a dealership while reading through this & turns out you just work at autozone pt lol

In 2006 I was hired at Penske fueling and washing trucks , then I had the opportunity to change oil and turn wrenches and then moved up to a tech 2 and was finally making good money after 10 years but I was driven to be better and I’ve worked with guys with degrees and they never worked out when the going got tough, it all comes down to how bad u want to succeed and always stay humble.

[@HospitalForSouls.X]

I've been a car girl for my whole life. My dad's a big car guy so he got me into that...for a while I was all about the exterior. The glitz and glam and sleek designs. I designed my own concept cars and even sent some designs to major car companies when I was in middle school in the mid 2000s. Now I'm almost 27 and I'm enrolling myself in Penn Foster online automotive school. People are calling it a toilet paper degree....I'm calling it a first step forward. As I've matured, I've fallen in love with the complexity and simultaneous simplicity of engines. I've fallen in love with computers and the brilliant minds behind them. And I've never wanted anything more than to speak the language of the vehicle...I started teaching mechanics to myself on my own, so school is a breeze. All I can say is...I'm happy to be following my heart. People always discouraged me, telling me shops wouldn't hire a female. Let me show up and fix something major and let them see my skill.

[@w.a.l.7259]

This is so encouraging! I would apply to your shop if I was local!

Did your boss go to school?

[@bundysgarage]

You don’t have to go to school to be a mechanic, I was the kid that fixed my own bike, took apart flash lights to see how they worked, took apart VHS tapes to figure them out. My dad saw I had a natural curiosity on how stuff works and taught me a lot. Then my friends dads would teach us stuff, how to change a clutch and braking and electrical systems. Old school mechanics tricks and it just grew from there. You have to be naturally curious about machinery if being a mechanic will be right for you.

Never stop educating yourself and be you’re own advocate.

Show up on time, be honest, communicate, work hard, be respectful. With tenacity and a little luck you can do it.

Don’t be scared. You might get lucky and find one the first time you walk in but maybe not. Yes have your resume ready. List all the basic stuff, name, address, phone #, email address (make sure it’s a professional email address, not like [e-mail]) then list what you want to do. I ‘m seeking a entry level technician job with room for advancement in the organization as my skills develop and my understanding of gas and diesel applications broadens. Or something like that. Then list all the jobs you have done, have changed 605 timing belts on a Honda J Series engine and own all the tools to complete the job from start to finish. Then list the tools you own.

Don't waste your money. Fixing automobiles is not rocket science. Go spend a couple hundred bucks some used automotive textbooks, get a set of decent hand tools and start learning. If you get stuck, bring your car to a pro to get fixed and ask him if you can pick his brain afterwards. Any decent mechanic is going to be willing to explain things to you. Network on social media and find some mechanic friends near you. Don't waste your money on school. Especially UTI.

I am a female interested in auto mechanics. I am a licensed counselor with a masters degree. I only have a little bit of experience working with my neighbor on my pick up truck. Do you think someone would let me apprentice in a shop. I would do it for free on the weekends just for the experience. Thanks!

Find out who the owner is, schedule some appts with local shops in your area and go pitch them the idea. Shops are in desperate need of good mechanics. Also check out the channel Women Auto Know.

Too bad most people don’t hire girls though. I’ve always wanted to be a mechanic, I love learning how things work... I even like taking the old parts out and taking them apart just to see what they are made of and how they work. I know a little bit here and a little bit there but not enough to do anything on my own. I have a actually been donating my time and helping a family friend at his job working on Mack trucks and front end loaders then going to his personal garage to do little side jobs . I want nothing more than to be a mechanic... but it’s extremely hard when you’re a girl trying to do a “mans” job.

Too high prices and poor job done in most of auto repair places is the direct result of what you are writing about.

Wow. I saw this whole video. I agree with alot of this but im a manager in retail. I think this transfers very well to retail. In the screening process you don't till 3 or 6 months later exactly who this person is. Because they are acting the first 30 or 60 days. Alot of smart mechanics, aren't always nice mechanics. Nice mechanics that are not that smart is sometimes, the route you got to go with so that you can avoid dealing with the arrogant mechanic that knows alot. Looking are resume and trying to see they worked a while wherever they applied. All of these are good things, but through it all, hiring someone new is always a risk.

Go to SIU, in state tuition for out of state students.

[@bundysgarage]

What is SIU?

[@danielguerra626]

Southern Illinois University, you get a bachelor's degree. The tuition is cheaper than UTI.
