Engine for a heart, Nitrous flowing through my veins What is you’re addiction? Is it sleep? Is it watching movies? Maybe it’s playing video games? For others, the thing they cannot get enough of is speed and horsepower. Many people are born loving cars, it comes natural to many human beings. Car addicts are usually the local mechanics and performance mechanics that aspired to become a mechanic at a young age like many others. Although, this career may not be glamorous, easy, or even high-ranking in regards to income. However challenging, being a mechanic is one of the most rewarding professions one can choose. If one desires to become a mechanic, he would need to complete high school with some college, gain employment focusing on efficiency …show more content…
Courses in high school such as, automotive repair, electronics, computers, mathematic, and also in English provide a good quality background for aspiring automotive service technicians. However, high school graduates often need further training and more hands on experience to become qualified enough to do the job.(BLS.gov) Courses usually include basic mathematics, computers, electronics, and automotive repair. Some programs add classes in customer service, English, and other skills needed to perform the job well. According to David Stava an experienced technician, “It takes years of experience to master each area of certification. About three years is a good start to become competent at a few things.” (Stava, David, Personal Interview, 4 Feb, …show more content…
However, they also have to be familiar with a growing number of electronic systems. Braking components, transmissions, and steering systems, for example, are by the most part controlled by computers and electronic components. Other important electronic systems, such as accident-avoidance sensors, are becoming well known in the business as well. Also, a growing number of mechanics are required to work on vehicles that run on different types of fuel, such as ethanol and electricity. Service technicians also may use many different tools, including computerized diagnostic tools to check symptoms the computer may have and power tools such as wrenches, lathes, welding torches, and jacks and hoists.(BLS.gov) Most of the tools in this area are owned by their employers. Mechanics also use many common hand tools, such as sockets and ratchets, wrenches, and pliers. These tools are usually owned by service technicians. In fact, many technicians have hundreds, maybe even thousands of dollars invested in the tools that they have to use on a daily basis. For example, some put some money into their own set of power tools—tools, such as impact wrenches—powered by air, compressed air. To quote David Stava, some tasks a tech would do on a daily basis would be “To get as many cars/trucks repaired as possible since it is a commission pay occupation.” (Stava, David, Personal Interview, 4 Feb,
There was once a time when people would get up on a Saturday morning, go into the garage, and tinker with their car, everything from a basic oil change and a tune up, to replacing the cylinder heads, and everything in between. It was a rite of passage for young boys to follow dad into the garage and have some good quality father/ son time, or it was a few friends getting together for an afternoon of friendship and camaraderie. It was a simpler time and a simpler car. Today, times have changed. Modern cars are now so complex that a person needs specialized training and tools to do the repairs; however, the “Shadetree Mechanic” is not extinct yet.
Also in states that mandate emission control systems the mechanic may be involved in evaluating and maintaining the vehicle in order to ensure that it conforms to those standards. These mechanics must be prepared to work on a wide range of vehicles and then must be familiar with most models of domestic and foreign diesel engines. they must also be capable of effectively informing their customers about any required repair or maintenance and providing an accurate estimate of the cost of the job.

The job of a mechanic is to keep the truck running properly and efficiently. This means he may have to take the entire truck apart to fix something. Taking care of the truck also means just the small things such as regular maintenance. Maintenance could be stuff like changing the oil regularly, new oil filter, fuel filter, or even giving the truck a good washing to keep it clean and in good working order. Also, full synthetic oil is the best thing you can put in the engine to keep everything running smooth and ensure the the parts stay properly lubricated.

You need to have a good personality you need to be able to talk to the customers and tell them what was wrong also tell them how they can prevent the problem next time. The education you will need you need to go to college and take a diesel mechanic course and learn the basics and you need to pass the test and after that it would be good to find a job and shadow a person and let them teach you more things other than the basics and let you do hands on stuff with their supervision. There are classes you can take in high school to where you can work on small engines and learn how to
Some people claim to be addicted to something when they really love it, but some addictions are very real. These addictions are not only real, but they're so strange you might not even believe they're real. Well, they are. Check them out for yourself below.
We have all been there. We walk into the garage of our mechanic’s shop, taking a quick glance; we see the huge elaborate toolboxes that each mechanic owns. Most of them are from Mac, Matco or Snap-On. Unless you work in the tool industry most people do not realize what the real cost of each of these boxes is.
In the company, you are likely to find all kind of vehicles, which require specific attendance therefore an expectation of expertise. In most of these companies, the technicians work as a team hence fast accomplishment of tasks. Since there is so much to do in a professional auto repair company, you will mostly find different working tools some of which are manual while others electrical machines to enable efficiency. In some advanced companies, skills like automotive painting takes place, which is an added advantage to the company since most clients, are likely to consider. Additional tasks that take place in an auto repair company could be treating rusted metal and replacing metals that cannot be

He chose his occupation because his father has owned a shop since he was born and grew up with and he fell in love with it. He says he likes his job, but sometimes he wishes he could make money easier, he recommends it to anyone who likes getting their hands dirty and loves cars, such as myself. A description of his job is that he services and repairs cars, performing a diagnosis on a car, doing test drives, completing repair orders, and talking to customers. The field has changed a little, such as, more electronic parts on cars and different places of parts. Something I wish someone told me before I started this career is that tools cost so much money and my body would hurt a decent amount. Chance for advancement in this field is all based on if you have your ASE certifications and how good you are at doing a diagnosis and repairing cars quickly and with perfect
