  • I work at a Toyota dealership and we have quite a few 18 year old technicians that are doing the T-Ten program, where they work for about 6 weeks and then go to school for about 6 weeks. I think the program is about 2 years, and you come out of it with some certifications. I believe our dealership also helps with the cost of the program. I did a different program so I can’t speak on specifics, but if it interests you, you could do some research on what it’s like working in a dealership setting or maybe even ask to shadow someone for a day. I had one recently. You could also see if your local community College offers any automotive programs. We have a technician who did an automotive program at our local community College and now he is more of a manager over all of our lube techs. It’s also very possible that you end up finding out this line of work isn’t for you, I’ve seen multiple people quit very early on. It definitely isn’t for everybody.
