FAQ
What jobs are available for car mechanics?
Three main areas of employment are available for car mechanics:
-
Automotive repair shops
-
Dealerships
-
Independent garages
Automotive repair shops
It's where most people start to think about becoming a mechanic. It's actually the easiest way to start. You can either work in a shop run by someone else, or start your business.
If you decide to work at a shop, you'll need to apply to join a union. After you are accepted to the union, you will receive training from it.
Once you complete the training, it's time to get started.
Registering with the government is required if you intend to open a garage. Once you have registered, certain standards will be enforced.
After you have registered, you will be issued a license to operate your garage.
You can sell spare parts or do minor repairs with your license. It won't allow you to fix major engine problems.
As well as selling spare parts you will need to offer advice and direction to customers.
Dealership jobs
Most dealerships only employ mechanics who have a specific skill set. They may be trained to replace or repair tires, or they may specialize in brakes.
However, dealerships may also employ general mechanics who are able to handle all aspects related to car repairs.
Some positions require that applicants complete training before they can be allowed to work. Employers are able to choose which candidates will best suit their position.
Some dealerships will even hire graduates right out of university. These graduates are already familiar with basic mechanics and can therefore learn about cars.
Independent garages
Independent garages don’t have to be associated with any particular dealer. They are more focused on providing top-quality service.
Independent garages are not associated with any companies so they can afford higher wages. This means that these jobs are usually more lucrative than those at dealerships.
But this doesn't mean that independent garages are necessarily better places to work. Many business owners prefer to manage their own businesses rather than delegating responsibility to others.
So you may find yourself working long hours without having any say over what happens during the day.
Also, expect to make lower wages than if your job was at a dealership.
It's possible to switch between jobs. It is possible to switch between different types of jobs if your current employer would prefer you to work at a dealer.
Or, if your dream is to work for an independent garage you can contact the owner directly.
Unfortunately, finding a new job can be difficult. There are many other factors that can influence your earnings.
You might also consider the vehicle type you repair, and whether extra labor is charged.
How can I fix my automobile as a hobby.
Why not make it a hobby if you're interested in cars? You can learn to fix them, buy them parts, and even sell them. If you are looking for something new, this would be a great hobby.
It's difficult to make this a fulltime job. It requires hard work and dedication. It will also require a large amount of investment.
If you don't have any good reasons to be involved in cars, it may be better to just let it go.
Is it possible to work as an automotive mechanic?
Yes, it is possible. Many garages list their vacancies online. Many people simply apply for the fun of it. If you want to get your foot in the door, you should try applying for a few places and see if they accept student applications. Ask your friends and family to recommend anyone in the field. They might be happy to recommend someone.
