FAQ

What is the length of an apprenticeship as an automotive mechanic?

An automotive mechanic apprenticeship takes around three years to complete. This includes two years in school and two as an apprentice. The first year is used to learn all aspects of the trade including safety procedures and theory. You'll also learn how tools can be used safely and efficiently during this year. After you have completed the first year of training, you will be able to spend an additional year on-the job learning different trades. These are also the times you can attend formal courses.

The final year of this program is spent in obtaining qualifications and becoming certified in your field. These include NVQs or National Vocational Qualifications. These are earned after passing exams that cover specific topics in the industry. In addition, there are HNCs (Higher National Certificates) that cover general subjects such as management, business administration, and customer service. City & Guilds certificates can be obtained for individuals who want to learn certain trades.

Does it matter what college I go to?

Non, really. In terms of getting into the auto industry, there is no distinction between colleges. But, there are better programs at some schools than others. Look elsewhere if you want something more niche.

Is it worth learning to be a mechanic?

The answer depends on what you are looking for in life. If money is your goal, then you can answer "yes". But if you are searching for meaning and purpose, then you should not answer this question.

It's not worth learning mechanics if you don’t have the skills. You'll waste your time. It's not going make you millionaire. It won't make you famous. And it's unlikely to change your life.

You'd have to spend years learning how things work. You would still need to hire someone to fix your car if it breaks down. This is why most people don’t bother. They find something they enjoy instead.

You can make a lot of money if you are looking to do well. However, if you want to have a meaningful and fulfilling life, avoid the mechanic's trade.

How To

How to correctly diagnose your vehicle for repairs

To determine if your car needs repairs, you should first look at the symptoms that your car presents. Next, you can follow these steps in order to diagnose your car.

Check engine lights. Inspect the dashboard light indicators. These include the engine lights, the oil pressure gauge and the battery light indicators. The RPM gauge and coolant temperature gauge should also be checked. If any of these indicators have been flashing continuously for several days it could mean that there is something wrong with your vehicle.
Take a look at the treads. Tires that are worn can cause issues with handling and braking. You should inspect the treads on your wheel. They should be clean, and they should be smooth. It is best to take off the wheels and remove them. A flashlight can be used to check how worn the treads are.
Check the level of brake fluid. You must always monitor the level of your brake fluid. This will ensure that your brakes run smoothly. Your brakes may fail if the brake fluid level drops.
Make sure to test the suspension system. The suspension system in vehicles absorbs vibrations and shocks. It provides better control and allows smoother acceleration and deceleration. A suspension problem can cause your vehicle to feel wobbly and shake uncontrollably. Try putting some weight on your front or rear axle to determine if you have a suspension problem.
Take a look at the steering column. Steering columns connect the steering wheels to other parts of the vehicle. The steering column can often be damaged by an accident. Replace it if your steering column feels loose or unsteady.
Pay close attention to the exhaust tube. The exhaust pipe helps move gases from a combustion chamber into the atmosphere. Exhaust pipes that are cracked or leaking can allow harmful fumes to enter your cabin. If your tailpipe bends, it is important to fix it immediately.
Take a look under your hood. Take a look underneath the hood to find any strange or unusual items. Leakage of fluids in your engine could indicate that it is leaking. A professional technician should be contacted if your engine compartment emits an unusual smell.
You should inspect your air filter. The outside environment collects dust and other particles in the vehicle's filter. A dirty filter can lead to a poor vehicle's performance. Replace your air filter regularly.
The fan belt should be checked. Your vehicle's fanbel is what connects the engine and the transmission. If the fanbel breaks, your engine won't turn. It's easy to replace the belt. All you need are a screwdriver & pliers.
Make sure you inspect the radiator hoses and hoses. The radiator hose carries water from the radiator to the engine. If the hose becomes damaged or cracked, hot liquid can be emitted onto the engine. Repairing the hose is easy with a pair of needlenose pliers or a small wire brush.
Be sure to inspect your windshield wipers. Windshield wipers use electricity for snow and rain removal. If they stop working they could leave streaks behind on your window glass. To fix the problem, simply change the washer fluid.
Check the battery cables. The battery cables supply power to your car's electrical systems. Always disconnect the negative wire before you replace batteries. Failure to do so can damage your alternator.
Be sure to check your headlights. Headlights illuminate the road ahead of you. They can make it difficult to see if they stop working. You can check the bulbs to make sure they aren't burned out.
Be sure to check the lights. Lights warn other drivers when you approach them at night. If one doesn't work, it could distract you and lead to an accident.
Check your brakes. Brakes slow down your vehicle before a collision. You could lose control of the car and cause a crash if they don't work properly.
Change your oil. Keep your engine lubricated with oil. It helps prevent metal parts from wearing out too quickly. It is recommended that the oil be changed every other month.
