- I enjoyed this school and it was a great value for the money that I paid. At half the price of Lincoln Technical Institute and UTI, it is an excellent school. It is located in Manhattan which is a convenient train ride or drive from the surrounding counties. The teaching staff there is excellent. The instructors are all ASE certified and have many years of experience in the field. As far as what the last review says the one thing that I can tell you is work hard, go to classes, and ask teachers questions when you need to. They will answer you and explain to you anything that you have a question about in regards to automotive components. I went to the school at night after my full time job and loved every minute of it. The job placement department does their best if you work directly with them and are serious about obtaining employment. The one recommendation I have for anyone that is thinking of attending or going to this school is take the classes and your work seriously. If you want to do this for a living and have a good job after you graduate then take your work in shop and education in theory very seriously. A very good school and education for half the cost of the schools in comparison. If you take your work seriously and work hard you will be fine.
