FAQ
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 the place most people begin to consider becoming mechanics. It's the easiest way for most people to get started. Either you can work in a shop that is owned by another person or start your own business.
If you plan to work in a shop, you must apply to join the union. Once accepted into the union you will be trained by the union.
After the training, you will be ready to go and start your job.
If you plan to open your own garage you will need to register with government. 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 won't allow you to fix major engine problems.
As well as selling spare parts you will need to offer advice and direction to customers.
Dealership jobs
Most dealerships employ mechanics who can specialize in a particular area of the car. They may be trained to replace or repair tires, or they may specialize in brakes.
Some dealerships hire general mechanics to handle all aspects of car repair.
Some positions require that applicants complete training before they can be allowed to work. This allows employers to pick the right candidates for their jobs.
Some dealerships even recruit graduates straight from university. These graduates are familiar with the fundamentals of mechanical engineering so they can easily learn about cars.
Independent garages
Independent garages aren't associated with any particular dealership. They are more focused on providing top-quality service.
Because independent garages aren't affiliated with any company, they can afford to pay higher wages. This makes them generally more well-paid than jobs at dealerships.
But this doesn't mean that independent garages are necessarily better places to work. Many business owners prefer to be in control of their businesses than to delegate it to employees.
You may find yourself working for long hours and not having control over the day.
Expect to earn lower salaries than if you were working in a dealership.
The good news? You can easily switch between different types of jobs. To work at a dealership you will need to contact your employer to see if he is open to the idea of hiring you.
Alternativly, you can apply directly to the garage owner if you are interested in working at an independent garage.
The bad news is that finding a new job isn't 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.
