Automotive Mechanic Jobs in Ontario

An Automotive Mechanic is a vital part of the automotive industry, responsible for diagnosing, repairing, and maintaining diverse types of vehicles. They inspect vehicle engines and mechanical/electrical components to diagnose issues accurately. Their duties also include conducting routine maintenance work such as replacing fluids, oil changes, checking tire pressure, and more. Additionally, they may repair or replace broken or dysfunctional parts and fix vehicle issues like leaks, worn out parts, and potentially failed inspections. They need to be familiar with vehicle diagnostic equipment and ready to keep up-to-date with current technologies and techniques.

Key skills for an Automotive Mechanic include excellent problem-solving abilities, physical strength and dexterity, strong customer service skills, and thorough knowledge of mechanical and electronic components of vehicles. They should ideally possess certification in Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). This certification verifies the mechanic's technical knowledge and practical experience. Before becoming a full-fledged Automotive Mechanic, a person may work as a Junior Mechanic, an Automotive Technician, or an Apprentice Mechanic, gaining the necessary skills and experience under the guidance of seasoned professionals.
