What is the job description for a mechanic in a car?
There are three major areas of employment that car mechanics work in:
-
Automotive repair shops
-
Dealerships
-
Independent garages
Automotive repair shops
Most people think of this as the first step to becoming a mechanic. In fact, it's probably the easiest way to get started. You can either work in a shop run by someone else, or start your business.
If you decide to work at a shop, you'll need to apply to join a union. After you are accepted to the union, you will receive training from it.
Once the training is completed, you can start working.
Registering with the government is required if you intend to open a garage. You'll need to meet certain standards after you register.
You will receive a license to run your garage once you have registered.
Your license will permit you to sell spares parts and perform minor repairs. It will not allow you to repair major engine problems.
Apart from selling spare parts, customers will also expect you to provide guidance and advice.
Dealership jobs
Most dealerships only employ mechanics who have a specific skill set. 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.
These positions may require applicants to complete specific training before being allowed on the job. Employers are able to choose which candidates will best suit their position.
Some dealerships will even hire graduates right out of university. These graduates are familiar with the fundamentals of mechanical engineering so they can easily learn about cars.
Independent garages
Independent garages do not belong to any dealership. Instead, independent garages tend to concentrate on providing high-quality services.
Because independent garages aren't affiliated with any company, they can afford to pay higher wages. These jobs generally pay better than those at dealerships.
However, independent garages may not be better places to work. Many owners prefer to control their businesses themselves, rather than delegating it to employees.
You might find yourself working long hours but having no control over what happens in the day.
It is also possible to expect lower wages than you would if working at a dealer.
The good news is that you can easily switch between different kinds of jobs. If you want to work at a dealership, then you simply need to ask your current employer if he would consider hiring you as a mechanic instead.
Alternatively, if you'd like to work at an independent garage, then you could try applying directly to the owner of the garage.
Unfortunately, finding a new job can be difficult. You can earn more depending on many other factors.
You might also consider the vehicle type you repair, and whether extra labor is charged.
