not working in the field but trying to answer a question that I have limited in-hand experience on. But I'll recommend a few things:
1. focus on completing your education - GED/high school diploma
2. try and reach out to a few people that work in the industry. I am not sure if LinkedIn would have professionals in the field, but I'll say try going to local/dealerships with automotive repair facilities and ask them how to break into the career field.
3. my understanding is that community college etc. should have a vocational course on these skills. Inquire there. My understanding is that proficiency with tools and processes like sanding, welding, metalworking, painting, and using diagnostic equipment etc. are needed to be successful.
4. try internship/apprenticeships and on-job training.
Hope this helps!
