chris’s Answer

I enjoy auto mechanics very much. I have as long as I can remember. As a young boy I loved working on cars. After school I went to a technical school and from there started my career as a mechanic and has been a wonderful experience. My love for racing fueled my love for being a mechanic but it didn't all happen over night. I'm 48 now and have my own Drag car and work and maintain it my self along with my wife and brother. My full time job is working for Cummins. I feel very blessed to be were I am in life even with the changes that are happening around us. I see a mechanics roll getting more technical and believe this to be a good thing. Electric vehicles may have less moving parts but those parts are going to be more technical. There are much more in the works as Hydrogen power engine hybrids and wind technology are in high demand right now. So many different avenues that one can take as a mechanic right now. I still love being a mechanic and the changes that have came with it.

Edmond’s Answer

I'm not a professional auto-mechanic but enjoy working on my car and do most of the simple mechanical repairs/maintenance myself. For example replacing the disc brake pads and rotors is fairly simple and requires little investment in tools. However as cars are becoming more computerized, many other things are nearly impossible to work on and requires specialized diagnostics tools and computers to fix, even adjusting some of the headlamps is not as simple. With electric cars there's even less opportunity to work on mechanical stuff.

So my advice would be to think long term, keeping in mind that perhaps in a decade all cars would be electric and most of the auto-mechanic work would be limited to hooking the car up to a computer, reading the display and doing what it tells us to do (e.g. replace computer # 240)
