WyoTech

[stage1scott]

I worked with a guy who did the wyo deal in 1980, went on to become one of the best automotive repair techs I have known and currently holds down a very good job at a local Lexus dealer. I also just hired a kid this past march from one of these, im not sure it was wyo though-might have been UTI-he did a 2 year course and then a 12 month mercedes course-he is an excellent employee (tech school didnt give him his work ethic) BUT some of the stuff they told him when they were SELLING him on the mercedes program is utterly laughable now-and we have a good time laughing at it every day. He still couldn't jet a carb if he had to, which is ok cause he needs to be able to use computerized scan tools a lot for me, and he is good with that. my experience with applicants from tech schools is, they do get the basics, but they still cannot repair cars.............only hands on experience seems to finish instilling that.
