Universal Technical Institute

cleaning charges in the hundreds of dollars charged. every time they move a person in or out of a shared apartment, someone comes in and inspects and always charges for cleaning.

carpets are constantly cleaned, they clean bathrooms. you have no proof or argument with them. they charge everyone at least 60 to 160.00 for cleaning. Housing made everyone move from one apartment and they charged each student 160.00 for various cleaning charges.

that is 4x160.00. That is more than a months rent. It is outrageous what they charge. and they get away with it.

Someone needs to file a suit against them for unfair housing and charges. they charge four students 500-600 and put four students in a four bedroom. that is 2000-**** per apartment.

They are making money hand over fist!!! it is a crime.

Hi, my name is been. i recently went to UTI and did the diesel program and the frieghtliner first program.

I was told when i talked to the people on the phone and in the school that 4-5 people get jobs in there field. i got myself a job while i was going to school and they send me emails all the time to fill out a form saying where i work and when i started so they can take credit for " GETTING ME A JOB". I was also told by the head of the education department(i wont name names) that when you graduate from UTI, the graduates make more than the guy off the street looking for a job. Most of the teachers do not care what the students do or what they learn.

An example of that is, i had 2 buddies that i went there with that were complete *** bags. they would leave the class about 30 min after it started and show back up about 30 min before class ended and the teachers never cared. while i was in i was not to inclined to ask questions to the teachers because i was told more than once that if i couldnt figure it out than i dont need to be in their class. now let me tell you, im an educated man and i also spent 4 years in the military and before the military working on vehicles.

there are things i did not know about and was belittled by the teachers. I dont care to throw this name out there MR. Flemming at the UTI Avondale campuss was the worst one at his job and treating the students like degenerates. the 3 week period i was in his diesel class he taught nothing.

we would walk into class take roll and either sit there and read from the book or go into the lab and try to do the lab sheets with no guidence. He never wrote anything on the whiye bored to teach us the fuel systems and the the differences in each of the diesel engines and i left that class learning nothing and being disrespected. i will help you and know plenty more that will to because of the underperforming education to profit they make of the students. The school took 40k from me in 1 year and 3 monthes for me to come out and make the same as if i had never gone.

they lied about their education and they have falsified there job numbers and something has to be done about it. Now they have also made the school to were no one can fail the programs. That is not the kind of people i want working on my vehicle or even on their own vehicle. I have seen first hand on what the lack of education is doing to the automotive field.

I worked for a dodge dealership and while i was working there. they hired 4 kids from UTI and all of them( not just one) didnt even know how to replace break pads. in matter of fact 2 of them still work there after blowing up 2 vehicles in aboiut a monthes period from not doing a proper oil change, and thats fter graduation.

so you can see my frustration with this. thank you and have a good day.

My experience with uti all started all started with the commercials "great place to get certified automotive experience and get a great job working in the industry" what these ads should say is some here give us your money and we leave you with nothing only attended for about 4 months due to the fact there is no on campus housing and finding roommates was far from as easy as the employee who came to my house in an 80000 dollar Porsche stated basically tried to sell me on the highest possible education uti offered well the day came and i was so excited to start school here and took me 2 months to find a job to try and afford the 460 dollar rent that was due every month while making 9.15 an hour at home depot on 38 hours a week meanwhile driving 20 miles to school everyday hoping I didn't get pulled over by the mass amounts of police that hounded the school wake up at 530 to get to school by 6 get out 1-30 ish try and make it to work which was 30 minutes from the school by 2 o'clock work till 11pm then drive 40 minutes home don't have a chance to eat cause I have to shower and go to bed b4 midnight so I can try and rest b4 school the next morning I was emotionally distraught a stressed out about money and work and school I developed stomach ulcers that i needed meds couldn't sleep so my health was in bad shape eventually kept getting sick cause my body never got to rest I went there with a friend and within 4 months we both knew this school was useless barely spent time in the shop working on cars i was told by the salesman and I say salesman cause that is what the guy who comes to talk to you about the school really is said it was 50% classroom 50%shop get to school and its actually 90 % classroom to 10% shop me and my friend left this school with just about 12000 in debt for about 4 completed courses took me about 1 full year to even get my foot in the door of a repair shop since then nothing that uti even taught me was even used literally passed my ases by buying practice books i tell you they are alot cheaper then this school as ive seen people have been taking this to lawyers in hopes to get the debt scrubbed i will be doing this as well although i onlt have about 5800 dollars left tl pay.. Terrible school mot worth it get your foot in the door at a shop and learn the right way.

I have a question and im am seriously considering using my gi bill to presuse a career in the auto field and am wondering if campus has student housing seeing as how i live 5 hours away from the closest facility

First off all I went to UTI in mooresville and took the NASCAR elective. Ok, two words "rip off".

I graduated on the directors list with a 4.0 gpa. I thought everything was going to be great, until I graduated. I was promised job placement and that the school would check in on me.

None of that ever happened. I think it was the worst financial and learning experience of my life.

How does a hands on technical school get away with giving online classes? This school is a waste of time and money!!

They are *** for all I know and I graduated from the marine side already! I sincerely hope they burn in ***!! And fix your IOL's. How is it that the IOL's mess up but I (the student) have to pay for it by not being eligible for my test?

They also like to take their sweet time giving me my refunds!!! It took 2 weeks after I graduated and many calls and cuss words for them to get it done!!

To the point where I have been to the mental institution because of how terrible this school is!!! I might get in trouble for this review but people need to know this school is garbage.

The finance "professionals" at UTI said i was guatanteed 100% of my Chapter 33 gi bill. Now 7 years later suck in a dead end oil change job and 4 schools later.

The VA wants me to repay $20,000 I was never supposed to receive in the first place...

Who is not doing they're job? The VA or the schools?

As a previous employee I can vouch for the fact that it's all about money money money! There are some instructors that are there because they truly do want to make a difference & actually care about the students.

The Admission reps really only care about numbers & that's it. Every student is only a dollar sign!

Hey difry_uti,

I went to NTI in 2010. Its is a scam!

NTI LIED!!! In every aspect pertaining to the school. From the recruiter coming to my home to graduating with a job. I was supposed to be trained to get a job at the top, because I quote " I would be trained above everyone else because NTI teaches the newest and and best technology out there.

I had to settle for a job at a Ford dealership changing oil. The certifications I received is NO GOOD! They are useless. You cant even get the type of certificates with what NTI is teaching.And as far as NASCAR.

Well I couldn't even get an interview with any NASCAR teams.They don't do interviews from making appointments or walk ins. You could only get an interview with them thru you. Supposedly, but come to find out NTI was not in good standing with them. So hence changing the name and commercials.

I did hours of volunteer work as I was told I had to do for experience for nothing. You where supposed to help me get a job until I found one right. Well how come every time I went to see if there where any positions available for any team the lady working for ME said no jobs available. Go volunteer some more.

Then when I went on line there where jobs posted on the NASCAR website. She never even checked on line or any where else. She would tell me there wasn't any and tell my dad she had a list of jobs. I paid NTI over $35000 in money that you told me I would get a career in the top of my field .All I got was the run around and student loans.

From a Great Lakes who is a fraud Company. And that you would not give up on me until I had a job. Well where is my job. A and what happened to the school changing its name.

So if there is any one else who was lied to wants to get your money back we need to talk.

I want to join forces so that we can take this higher. Here is my badge to show I was not lying about the name.

If you wanna learn how to turn a wrench buy a POS take it apart put it back together again and again make mistakes and learn from em. But if u wanna lrean all the languages of the automotive industry, learn how to diagnose electronic problems, use scantools and know how everything inside of a vehicle works pay UTI be a students by asking questions listen n class be about getting knowledge.

UTI aint gonna give u a job u will have to get they will point u to the right direction all u gotta do is go down that path if u gonna sit until somebody to give you a job u gonna be waiting for ever.

Dont expect to be a master tech after a year and a half a training its *** impossible *** within this industry change every day u have to be able to pick it up and roll with it learn from it. UTI maybe expensive but bet u it pay back if u willing to do what ever it takes
