Reading B How to Become an Auto Mechanic

An auto mechanic is a mechanic who specializes in automobile maintenance, repair, and sometimes modification. A mechanic may be knowledgeable in working on all parts of a variety of car makes or may specialize either in a specific area or in a specific make of car. In repairing cars, their main role is to diagnose the problem accurately and quickly. They often have to quote prices for their customers before commencing work or after partial disassembly for inspection. The mechanic uses both electronic means of gathering data as well as their senses.

18

The following items are the things and steps you need to

become an auto mechanic: automotive repair manual; alarm clocks; adjustable oi filter wrenches; auto emergency kits; car jacks; crescent wrenches; lug wrenches; oil filter wrenches; socket sets.

Step1——Start preparing for an automotive career in school by taking advantage of the vocational programs offered, both in automotive repair and electrical trades. Math and physical science courses are important prerequisites.

Step2——Seek out apprenticeship and training programs. Because good, qualified auto mechanics are in short supply, many larger employers have excellent programs for entry-level workers.


19

Step3——Note that some mechanics have started out by

working in a shop as a service writer and taking evening courses in auto repair. This is a good way to start if you are not ready to make a commitment to full time training school.

Step4——Find out about the countless technical schools and community college programs in automotive repair. Look for those whose programs are specifically designed to prepare you for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certification.

Step5——Understand that most employers require a minimum number of ASE certifications for mechanic positions, and more for the step up to technician. Some shops offer in-house ASE preparation courses, and may offer new mechanics discounts on basic tools necessary for a personal tool inventory.


20

Step6——Choose the right opportunity for you. Mechanics

are paid on the basis of their productivity, so your earnings will depend in part on the type and amount of work that comes through your employer's shop.

Step7——Look for an employer who offers opportunities for continued professional development through training and certification.

Step8——Expect prospective employers to be most interested in the types of work you are certified to perform, particularly any certifications and/or experience you may have with advanced computerized diagnostic systems. Be sure to list these on your resume and any applications you submit.
