Universal Technical Institute

"This review is exclusively for the Veteran’s Department at this location. I have never been to this school in person. I wanted to check this campus out because I was interested in the automotive technician program. And I wanted to use my Post 9/11 GI Bill (A Veteran’s Benefit). I was able to schedule a tour in person. But then, the school’s veterans representative calls me on the phone. He was very pushy, telling me I needed to sign up now, so they can see if they even wanted me before the tour. “His words”. He kept insisting on my filling out the application before the “classes get full.” Very disappointing interaction with that individual. Too intense, too desperate, I didn’t feel very comfortable with this. At the end, I just said that I was not interested anymore. Very sad. I was kinda excited that I found something I would’ve liked to do. Oh well. Looking for other options still. This happened a few months back, I just didn’t know if I wanted to leave a negative review just for that individual. But here it is!"

"I attended this school in 2019 and early 2020 before covid. I was in the auto course in 2019, and in 3 weeks, they expected you to learn everything in that course. I went to the collision repair course lasted for 6 months before covid happened. I had to leave because they wanted the students to go to school online. And 30k is not worth it to go to school online.There's cheaper schools that we could attend. Also, if we didn't bring our uniforms and our badge, we had to pay to get a new one. All they want is more and more money. I also got into a fight with one of the teachers just because I went to a different restroom that wasn't near my class, which is pathetic. Wish I could get my money back. When we were in class the instructors would leave the classroom and wouldn't come back for the next 10-20 min."

"Did the automotive technician program and gotta say, it was worth it. I didn't know a lot about cars and ended up learning every system of a car and how it works. From diagnosing to building an engine, you mess with everything in a car in 3 week courses. The instructors are very knowledgable and helpful. They have career services and career fairs to help you find a job. Would recommend going to this school to get the knowledge and you'll need in the field."

"Not worth being in debt $30,000 or more for a school that doesn’t replace broken gear or tools. You’d be better off learning and getting experience by working in the field. This school was a waste of time for a lot of us because we were expecting to learn how to diagnose and repair a vehicle, but how can that be done when there’s missing components or the equipment provided wasn’t even working. Don’t waste your time or money on this school."

"I love this place. I start one of their many programs soon. The staff are very helpful, patient and kind. The campus is so pristine, clean and new. Oh my God, you can eat off the floor. I highly , recommend this UTI. You get what you pay for. It's worth every penny. A special thank to Linda Chavez, Shavon, Nancy, Donna Li and the whole LB UTI team. Also they love Veterans."
