Auto schools in PA?
 

Currently i'm going to LTI in columbia, md for automotive technology. i was wondering if anyone knew of a school in pa which taught "high performance" and tuning.

U.T.I. and A.T.C.

Both competitors.

Google is your friend...

UTI's programs:

Automotive Technology
Automotive Technology w/ Ford FACT
Automotive Technology w/ NASCAR
Automotive Technology w/ Toyota TPAT
Automotive & Diesel Technology
Automotive, Diesel & Industrial Technology
Collision Repair & Refinish Technology
Collision Repair & Refinish Technology w/ Toyota
Diesel & Industrial Technology
New - FlexTech™ (Online / In Lab) Automotive Technology

i want something related to performance. UTI has a SMALL class at the end of their prgram but nothing indepth which is what i want.

these are the ones i'm finding for ATC:
Auto Mechanic Auto Body Repair (Collision)
Service Advisor Parts & Warehousing
Sales & Leasing Business Manager Program
Auto Body Estimator Automotive Detailing (Professional)

again... not what i want.

well you kinda have to learn the other stuff first.

wyo tech has to be one the best.

i forgot about wyotech.. check them out too man

yep either UTI or ATC is the ones i know of.

WYO-TECH is one of the tops...but I don't think they have a Pennsylvania campus.

From what I've heard from PLENTY of people...if you're doing WYO...go to their MAIN campus in Wyoming.

i am already going to school "For the other stuff" :) i'm going to look up WYO-TECH now see if they have what i want.

They have a campus out near pittsburg. I bought a car from someone that went to school there.

i think i found what i want

Chassis Fabrication & High-Performance Engines offers a solid foundation in:
Specialty chassis fabrication
Frame and front suspension design
MIG and TIG welding
Frame modification and roll cage construction
Pro-street frame set-up
Rear axle set-up and suspension
Cylinder head modifications
Camshaft degreeing
Supercharging and turbocharging
Precision measuring, blueprinting and critical calculations

I was enroled at wyotech (the main campus) way back when, but had to back out of it at the last minute. From what I saw of it, it looked like a nice place to learn.

I start at WyoTech October 2nd. Im taking the 3 month Upholstery/Trim class and then the 6 month Collision / Refinishing class.

Trim & Upholstery:
Basic seam construction
Insert construction
Seat reconstruction
Trim panels
Carpets
Convertible tops
Vinyl tops
Sun visors
Head liners
Tonneau covers




While Im out there, I might decide to take the Hot Rod/Custom Fabrication class to learn more metal work and Pin Striping/Air brush work and the Business corse so I can hopefully open a shop in 2-3 years.



Street Rod and Custom Fabrication:
Custom and specialized sheet metal shaping and fabrication
Application of lead (body solder)
M.I.G., T.I.G. and Oxy-Acetylene welding
Chop tops including carson style tops
Hidden pin hinges (Suicide Doors)
Body Construction including Firewalls, Floorboards and Transmission tunnels
Custom paint techniques including special effects, airbrushing and pin striping

yea my buddy loves uti

Didnt they just open a wyotech in warminster? Been seeing commercials for it all over.

Good luck getting back in for the Street Rod class. That and the High Performanc/Chassis Fab course fill up first. The rep was telling me about it, when you first go (for 9 months) it's best to take your Collision course and the Street Rod or High Perf. course then. And after you finish your first 9, go back and take the upholstery because it doesn't fill up as quick. I'm HOPFULLY starting in January, Collision/High Performance & Chassis, then going back and doing ALL of the other electives; Trim, Business Management, Street Rod. We'll see how my financial aid goes...

But yeah, there's a Wyotech in a ****hole town called Blairsville, PA. And believe me... there is NOTHING to do in that town.

The rep told me the same thing... He told me I will be fine if I decide within the 1st 2 weeks Im out there. I have the Upholstery class 1st, then in January I start the Collision class, so who knows, maby we will have it together. I am taking the 4:30pm - 1:40am classes tho. There are less students for a teacher to have to teach which means you get more help if you have any questions which I like incase something is to come up.


Indiana University of Pa is right there, and Im stayin in their dorms. The area is full of old people that hate the students at both IUP and the students at WyoTech even more. You also cant race/speed/anything out there either b/c we are going to an automotive school and they have the cops out there watchin for our cars and you get in deep **** if you do.

hey you're in york. i visit my friends up at York College every once in a while.

i'd be interesting ni Wyo tech later on. first i'm going to go through lincoln tech and go for my ASE's then i want to go for high performance. its a big bonus to me that they teach welding both mig/tig because i've been wanting to do that. i currently am teaching myself on EMS tuning.

oh and thats exactly how things are around LTI. cops are on ur ass non stop. columbia has a rep for street racing and if you're caught doing anything stupid you can be kicked out fast! sux.

I know all about that... lived in Indiana, even did some time at IUP...

Warminster got A.T.C.
