Automotive service technicians inspect, maintain, and repair automobiles and light trucks that run on gasoline, diesel fuel, electricity, or alternative fuels such as ethanol. Automotive service technicians’ and mechanics’ responsibilities have evolved from simple mechanical repairs to high-level technology-related work. The increasing sophistication of automobiles requires workers who can use computerized shop equipment and work with electronic components while maintaining their skills with traditional hand tools. Automotive service technicians and mechanics also have the skills necessary to maintain and repair other types of equipment when given special training.
