AUTOMOTIVE TRAINING NEAR GEORGETOWN, TX

Gain real-world understanding of automotive systems in just 51 weeks!7 Our auto mechanic school blends online learning with practical, hands-on training. Our experienced instructors designed the auto mechanic training program to help you get a good grasp of automotive electronic systems.

Our goal is to equip you with the necessary knowledge to diagnose, maintain, repair and inspect a range of vehicles. This will help you get a foundational understanding of industry standards and practices.

“Electrical is one of those things where you can learn only so much on your own. You have to be taught certain things. To really learn and diagnose problems, you have to be taught certain procedures that you never would have known existed if somebody didn’t show you,” says Ted Foos, a UTI Automotive Technology instructor.

Many automotive technicians pursue the Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certification. The ASE certification exists to improve and maintain the quality of vehicle repair and service. Graduates of our program are well prepared to test for ASE certification, and they are credited with one of the two years of work experience required to become ASE certified.
