Automotive Mechanic Jobs in Rhode Island

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.
