Mechanics service and repair a car's essential sysems.
Automotive technicians, or mechanics, serve an essential function. If a strange noise emits from under the car's hood or something starts leaking from beneath the engine, people turn to car mechanics to diagnose and resolve the issue. Mechanics must understand the function of many automotive systems. A number of educational programs offer classroom and hands-on training to prepare students for work in the field.
