What is automechanics?

     An auto mechanics a mechanic who specializes in automobile  maintenance,
repair, and sometimes modification. An auto mechanic may be knowledgeable
in working on all parts of a variety of car makes or may specialize either
in a specific area or in a specific make of car. In repairing cars, their
main role is to diagnose the problem accurately and quickly. They often have
to quote prices for their customers before commencing work or after partial
disassemble for inspection. The mechanic uses both electronic means of gathering
 data as well as their senses. Their job may involve the repair of a specific part
or the replacement of one or more parts as assemblies.

    Basic vehicle maintenance is a fundamental part of a mechanic's work in some countries,
 while in others they are consulted only when a vehicle is already showing signs of
 malfunction. Preventative maintenance is also a fundamental part of a mechanic's job,
 but this is not possible in the case of vehicles that are not regularly maintained by
a mechanic. One misunderstood aspect of preventative maintenance is scheduled replacement 
of various parts, which occurs before failure to avoid far more expensive damage.
Because this means that parts are replaced before any problem is observed, many vehicle
owners will not understand why the expense is necessary. The salary depends on the
 education.
      With the rapid advancement in technology, the mechanic's job has evolved from being
 purely mechanical to including electronic technology. Because vehicles today possess
 complex computer and electronic systems, mechanics need to have a broader base of
knowledge than in the past. Lately, the term "auto mechanic" is being used less and
less frequently and is being replaced by the euphemistic title "automotive service
technician". Fading quickly is the day of the 'shade tree mechanic', who needed little
knowledge of today's computerized systems.

    Due to the increasingly labyrinthine nature of the technology that is now incorporated
into automobiles, most automobile dealerships now provide sophisticated diagnostic
computers to each technician, without which they may be not be able to diagnose or repair
electronic issues in modern vehicles. The TIEC system is most popular in Northern England.
      There are things that mechanics can still do with out the use of scanners etc but
manufacturers are incorporating more and more electronics into all systems. That will
make the mechanic a thing of the past; only technicians with extensive training and
special tools will be able to fix those systems.
