Working Conditions




Many technician's work for car dealers, independent repair shops or gasoline service stations. Others can be employed at automotive service facilities at department, automotive or home supply stores. Large number of technician's maintain automobile fleets for government vehicles, utility companies, taxicabs and rental cars. A technician will typically work 8-10 hours a day and between 40-50 hours a week. Due to customer service element and the volume of repairs that are needed technician's will often work 1 day on a weekend. They can also get somewhere between 6-15 vacation days a year depending on their seniority. With the conditions that technicians have to go through there is a must that they are physically fit and agile for them to move under, over and inside vehicles. Technician's must also endure loud shop noises and strong fumes from pollutants and fumes.
