An auto mechanic is someone who specializes in automotive engine maintenance, repair. An auto mechanic may be knowledgeable in working on all parts of a variety of vehicle makes or may specialize in a specific area or in a specific make of vehicle. In repairing vehicles, their main role is to diagnose the problem accurately and quickly. They may have to quote prices for their customers before beginning work or after partial disassembly for inspection. The auto mechanic uses both electronic means of gathering data as well as their senses. Their job may involve the repair of a specific part or the replacement of one or more parts as assemblies.
Because vehicles today possess complex computer and electronic systems, mechanics need to have a broader base of knowledge than in the past. Lately, the term "auto mechanic" is being used less and less frequently and is being replaced by the title "service technician". Fading quickly is the day of the 'shade tree mechanic', who needed little knowledge of today's computerized systems.
Due to the increasingly complex nature of the technology that is now incorporated into today’s vehicles, most dealerships, repair facilities and garages now provide sophisticated diagnostic computers to technicians, without which they may be unable to diagnose or repair electronic issues in modern vehicles.
