Maintaining modern vehicles is a highly skilled occupation that requires a thorough understanding of how they work.
Automobile technicians must be able to work quickly and efficiently without compromising the high standards expected by employers and customers. They must also keep up-to-date with technological advances as vehicles get increasingly complex.
Automobile Technicians are likely to be employed in workshops closely associated with major vehicle manufacturers or in general vehicle garages and workshops where they may experience a wider range of light vehicles and use alternative equipment, parts, and materials.
