Lincoln Tech Auto Program – Is It Worth It?

The other day I received the following email and I’d like to solicit some feedback from anyone who happens to stumble across this automotive blog:

Dear Ump,

I’m graduating high school this year and our school is already holding career days and college visits. I’ve always loved working on cars with my dad and even worked last summer at a local autobody shop restoring paint jobs and doing auto-body repair. A lot of the guys at the shop said they had gone to Lincoln Tech Auto (and one is actually still in classes) but I was wondering if that’s right for me? There’s a lot of pressure for me to go to a four year college so I want to be sure that Lincoln Technical Institute is really worth all the hype before I commit to it. Your thoughts?

AAI – Arizona Automotive Institute Glendale, AZ

Arizona Automotive Institute in Glendale Arizona seems like a pretty good mechanic school. Has anyone gone? I’ve been pondering a mechanic school like Arizona Automotive Institute, but i’m not sure what’s a good one. I’m looking for flexible schedule (evenings or mornings), good instructors, good labs, modern technology, and the ability to train with specific manufacturers. Any ideas?
