Mechanic

An auto mechanic

[1] is a [mechanic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanic “Mechanic”) who services and repairs [automobiles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile “Automobile”), sometimes specializing in one or more [automobile brands](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Listofcarbrands “List of car brands”) or sometimes working with any brand. In fixing cars, their main role is to [diagnose](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnosis “Diagnosis”) and repair the problem accurately and quickly. Seasoned auto repair shops start with a (Digital) Inspection to determine the vehicle conditions, independent of the customers concern. Based on the concern, the inspection results and preventative maintenance needs, the mechanic/technician returns the findings to the service advisor who then gets approval for any or all of the proposed work. The approved work will be assigned to the mechanic on a work order. Their work may involve the repair of a specific part or the replacement of one or more parts as assemblies. Basic [vehicle maintenance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service(motorvehicle) “Service (motor vehicle)”) is a fundamental part of a mechanics work in modern industrialized countries, while in others they are only consulted when a vehicle is already showing signs of malfunction.
