Vehicle mechanics are responsible for diagnosing, repairing, and maintaining cars, vans, and other vehicles. They work in garages, service centres, dealerships, and sometimes as mobile mechanics. Day-to-day tasks include inspecting vehicles, identifying faults using diagnostic equipment, replacing parts, and performing routine servicing such as oil changes and brake checks. Vehicle mechanics need a good understanding of how different vehicle systems work, strong problem-solving skills, and the ability to use a range of tools and technology. Many mechanics specialise further, for example in electric vehicles or heavy goods vehicles. Training is often completed through apprenticeships or college courses, followed by on-the-job experience.
