Most community colleges have "auto shop" classes. These can be either during the day or at night so people can go after work. People "donate" there cars for the students to work on so the labor is basically free. Some classes are even "sponsored" by various car manufacturers. I went to one right out of the service which was sponsored by Ford. I don't know how much the fee was because Uncle Sam picked up the tab. It was about a 3 month course, 5 eight hour days a week. When I got out I went right to work at a Ford dealership. That was back when domestic cars were rear wheel drive only, there were still these things called points and condensers, no one had heard of onboard computers and we were mechanics, not technicians!
