You like cars. You get a kick out of making things run. You know that the heart and soul of a vehicle lies below the surface. You like to get beyond the rims and into the nitty-gritty, making sparks fly and engines run. Without you, we wouldn't get anywhere. You like that.

Automobile mechanics are getting-down-and-dirty makers and fixer-uppers of all things car related. Automobile mechanics inspect, maintain, and repair cars and light trucks.
