Toyota of Surprise in AZ Fixed Operations Director Kevin Naylor on Universal Technical Institute

As the fixed operations director of Toyota of Surprise in Arizona, Kevin Naylor says he hires auto mechanic talent from Universal Technical Institute (UTI) because of the minimal on-the-job training UTI graduates require and the immediately applicable skills they bring to the job.Kevin says he hires graduates from both UTI's core automotive program and the Toyota Professional Automotive Technician (TPAT) manufacturer-specific advanced training program.Upon being hired at Toyota of Surprise, UTI graduates are able to work on diagnosing vehicles and doing basic maintenance and recalls straightaway while continuing to advance their careers toward expert or master technician status. Kevin says with the UTI experience, graduates have taken off roughly 6 months to a year to the point where they’re an expert or master technician in the dealership.Through a specialized team dedicated to identifying technician career opportunities, Universal Technical Institute is able to help UTI graduates search for careers with national dealerships, distributors and other local employers. While employment cannot be guaranteed, UTI places great emphasis on assisting graduates with finding jobs. Other services offered through UTI in preparation for careers include résumé development and interview training.For more information regarding automotive training programs at Universal Technical Institute, visit https://www.uti.edu/programs/automotiveFor more information regarding Universal Technical Institute's Toyota manufacturer-specific training program, visit https://www.uti.edu/programs/automotive/specialized-training/toyota-tpatFor additional information into specific courses, tuition and admissions, see the course catalogs at https://www.uti.edu/programs/catalogsFor more stories about employers who trust UTI technician training programs and regularly look to recruit UTI graduates, visit https://www.uti.edu/why-uti/employer-storiesTo find the nearest UTI or MMI school near you, visit https://www.uti.edu/locationsTo stay up-to-date with some of the latest news regarding UTI, join us on social media.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UTI/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/utitweet Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uti.tech/
