An automotive technician is someone who specializes in automotive maintenance, repair, and sometimes modification. An automotive technician 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 often have to quote prices for their customers before commencing work or after partial disassembly for inspection. The automotive technician 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. Organizations like Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) help support the certification and development of automotive technicians.
Because vehicles today possess complex computer and electronic systems, technicians need to have a broader base of knowledge than in the past. An “automotive technician” may also be referred to as an “auto tech” or “auto 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 their technicians, without which they may be unable to diagnose or repair electronic issues in modern vehicles.
