FAQ
Does it matter what college I go to?
You're wrong. There are no differences between colleges when it comes to getting into the automotive industry. However, some schools offer better programs than others so if you're looking for something more specialized, look elsewhere.
Can I work as an auto mechanic without a degree? Can I study part-time?
Although a degree is not necessary, it can be helpful. Employers will prefer candidates who have completed a degree. It shows that your efforts have been put in and you have succeeded.
This doesn't necessarily mean you can't continue to work while studying. Some universities allow students the flexibility to finish coursework during summer vacations and resume their studies later in year. Others allow students to study part-time all year.
What kind of car mechanic jobs exists?
Three main areas of employment are available for car mechanics:
-
Automotive repair shops
-
Dealerships
-
Independent garages
Automotive repair shops
This is where most people first think of becoming a mechanic. It's also the easiest way you can get started. Either you can work in a shop that is owned by another person or start your own business.
You will need to join a union if you want to work in a shop. Once you have been accepted into the Union, you'll be given training by the union.
Once you complete the training, it's time to get started.
Register with the government if you want to open your garage. Once you have registered, certain standards will be enforced.
When you've registered, you'll be given a license to operate your garage.
Your license will permit you to sell spares parts and perform minor repairs. It will not allow you to repair major engine problems.
You will be expected to sell spare parts and also offer guidance and advice to customers.
Dealership jobs
Most dealerships employ mechanics who specialize in one area of the car. They might specialize in one area, such as brakes and tires.
However, dealerships may also employ general mechanics who are able to handle all aspects related to car repairs.
Many of these positions require that applicants undergo training before they are 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 already have a basic understanding of mechanical engineering, so they are able to learn all about cars.
Independent garages
Independent garages don't belong to any particular dealership. Instead, they focus on high-quality customer service.
Because independent garages aren't affiliated with any company, they can afford to pay higher wages. This means that these jobs are usually more lucrative than those at dealerships.
Independent garages can be just as good places to work, but this does not mean they are better. Many business owners prefer to manage their own businesses rather than delegating responsibility to others.
You might find yourself working long hours but having no control over what happens in the day.
Also, expect to make lower wages than if your job was at a dealership.
You can switch jobs easily. Ask your employer if you would like to work as a mechanic at a dealership.
Alternativly, you can apply directly to the garage owner if you are interested in working at an independent garage.
Finding a new job is not always easy. 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.
Is it really worth becoming a mechanic.
The answer to that question depends on what your life purpose is. If you're looking for money, then it's true. But, if there are meaning and purpose in your life, then it's not.
If you don’t possess any mechanics skills, you won’t be able to do it. It's not going to make you rich. It won't make your name famous. It is unlikely that you will be made famous.
You'd need to spend years learning how everything works. This would mean that you would have to pay someone else for your car's repair. That's why most people don't bother doing it at all. They find something more worthwhile.
To sum up, if you want to earn lots of money then go ahead. If you are looking for a fulfilling life, however, then stay clear of the mechanics' industry.
