It's more like 25-30k for your first year. It's funny that the school promise that you will make 60k when you graduate lol. There are guys in this trade for 10 years and still make 60k. It's not what you know... It's Who you know. My ex-teamleader made 100k a year but it's dirty money. Where are you in texas?

I'm in Grapevine, TX. Imbetween Dallas and Fort Worth. School is in Dallas. It's at a somewhat crappy community college, but it was the only option. I've spent the last 7 years working as a paramedic, time for a career change.

You're almost there Ryan. Make sure finished all the online tests before the end of the year. My dealership is only 20 miles from the Lexus Southeastern area office, so I'm kinda lucky that I'm in town and the dealership don't have to spend money on airfare or hotel room.
P.S, they paid me to take the online tests, straight time.

no i have some craftsman tools and sometimes it is better, then again the big names have tools that other dont offer or make very cheap. if your a lube tech at a dealer i wouldnt go spending thousands of dollars on a box and tools but if you are getting into the bigger jobs i would invest in quality
