Auto mechanic schools?

You might want to look at a local community college first - it depends on where you're located.
I know that in California, several schools have certifications for certain brands, including Ford, Toyota, Nissan/Infinity, Honda/Acura, Chevy and a few other major brands.
Depending on the school, some will offer Financial Aid - it depends on the type of school and location.

Location is a biggie. Here in CT, we have Porter & Chester (DO NOT GO THERE. TERRIBLE SCHOOL FOR AUTO.), ITS, NE Tech, and Baron Institute. BF went to Porter & Chester and really wishes he could have gone to UTI. UTI is probably the best bet if there's one around.
I think that the best choice is a specialized course. It may cost a little more but you're a specialized mechanic, very different from a generic one. To gain more information you can have a look at UTI, that has several different auto mechanic specialized courses like FastTRACK (BMW), FACT (ford), TPAT (Toyota) and NASCAR too if he would like to become a sport automotive mechanic.
They do! My friend's boyfriend just started a two year program for auto mechanics and he was able to get a grant.
Just coming in to second WyoTech it is supposed to be a GREAT school. Maybe I'm partial since I live in WY. 
They actually did a special once on OverHauled (on TLC) where they used the WyoTech garages. They are also forever mentioning it on Spike when they have the car shows on there.
I did have a friend who lived in California that went to school at WyoTech though and as far as I know the program served him well. He moved back to Cali when he was done and continues to work in the auto industry. They must have a fairly good financial aid or student loan program too because he did not have the cash to go to school.
