What are actual working conditions like in the Automotive Field?
Automotive technicians find work in dealerships, service stations, automotive sales, independent shops and specialty shops. Most automotive technicians work a standard 40-hour week, but many self-employed technicians work longer hours. To satisfy customer service needs, many technicians provide evening and weekend service. Generally, technicians work indoors in well-ventilated and well-lighted repair shops. Most automotive technicians use computer diagnostic equipment to diagnose technical problems.
