What kind of education should I get to pursue being a mechanic?

Question:
I've always enjoyed working on cars and I want to make a career out of it. I'm not sure though exactly what kind of education or certifications places expect you to have in order to get a good paying job. Also it would help to know what kind of jobs I should get to build up experiance or to get my foot in the door for other jobs. thanks in advance.

One route is the US military in vehicle maintenance. You will get around three to five months technical training and on-the-job apprenticeship. The Air Force will also foot the bill for ASE certifications you pursue while on active duty.

If you are in high school, check out your local schools, one of them may have a auto shop program - my son took that in high school 10 years ago and rebuilt a 1979 Chevette in the 3 years he was at the school -- so when he finished school he had a well built little car to go to college in - where he got into the mechanics apprenticeship program - today he is shop supervisor at a GM dealership

The 4x4 on my 1996 dodge ram 1500 is out, any idea's?

I can tell you straight away the same as i have told all my apprentices and prospects who ask the same question.
You need English ,maths and need to be able to write so that people can read your writing and understand it.
People skills can also be an advantage when you are applying for an apprenticeship, but if you get these skills it is only the start, it will give you a chance but not guarantee you a job, but you will be better off than some one who doesn't have these skills.
Also the best way to learn is hands on,Poly-tech and any theory tickets are of no value unless you can implement what you have learned. Do the practical and the theory will fall into place. Do the theory first you usually end up as a think they know it all, or worse an also-ran.

car pro need your assistance problem with the check engine light?

the best thing to do is go to the school of hard knocks just get a job in a dealership as a porter or car jockey. and work your way through the ranks. go from porter to lube tech, then train under some one. but tech school is a waste of money, most tech's in a dealership came up from the bottom. and tech school is a joke and a waste of money. i know this because i work in a ford dealership in service and i know who we hire and anyone that went to a tech school and is fresh will not be hired because they have bad habits and usually can't grasp how dealership life operates.

Hey Best,

Check your local community collage. Some are ASE certified, smog, brakes, etc. My friend Larry has worked as a mechanic all his life and as he approaches his 50's he wished he'd looked at retirement a little better. He makes good side money too, BUT, the magic is he likes to work on cars. I've worked on mine in order to afford to keep a car, and its good therapy. Check the local union hall also.
