Mechanic?- NO The word "Mechanic" makes you think of a guy from the 1960's named Joe, with dirty hands, smudged face, greasy clothes and a wrench in his pocket. The high school dropout who might not have the intellect to work on our complex cars today. Hence, the term MECHANIC is quickly disappearing.
Technician?- NO On the other hand, the word "technician" conjures up mental pictures of a guy in a sterile lab coat who hasn't had his hands dirty in his life. He may be able to think about what's wrong, but can he really dive into your car's problem to fix it?
Automotive Service Technician?- Yes The truth is with today's sophisticated cars, the good auto service technician must be a combination of diagnostic wizard, mechanical engineer, electrician, continuing student and great mechanic. Part detective, he must discover the problems, take the puzzle apart and put it back together again to work perfectly.
A great auto service technician is a combination of curiosity, constant study, refined intuition, well earned experience, deductive reasoning, strong arms and nimble fingers. Plus, he loves his job.
To you, his job is extremely important. It keeps you on the road, getting you to work, school, shopping and vacation. It keeps your car reliable, from the day-to-day routine, to cross country trips or the late night emergency.
When you find a good auto repair center, tell your friends about it. We all need reliable transportation.
