How can I sell a blue-collar technical background when applying for white-collar technical jobs?

I am currently an automotive technician getting a degree in computer science and applying for internships. Despite sending off dozens of resumes, I haven't gotten any offers at all, partially because of my resume clearly stating that I am currently an automotive technician.

When coming from a blue-collar background/work experience, how can I prevent employers from making judgments about my skill based on my current job?
