Auto Mechanic: A Profession
on the Rise
Job opportunities in this occupation are expected to be very good
for persons who complete automotive training programs in high
school, vocational and technical schools, or community colleges.
Persons with good diagnostic and problem-solving skills, and whose
training includes basic electronics skills, should have the best
opportunities. For well-prepared people with a technical background,
automotive service technician careers offer an excellent opportunity
for good pay and the satisfaction of highly skilled work with
vehicles incorporating the latest in high technology. However,
persons without formal automotive training are likely to face
competition for entry-level jobs.
Employment of automotive service technicians and mechanics is
expected to increase about as fast as the average through the year
2012. Over the 2002-12 period, population growth will boost demand
for motor vehicles, which will require regular maintenance and
service. Growth of the labor force and in the number of families in
which both spouses need vehicles to commute to work will contribute
to increased vehicle sales and employment in this industry. As
personal incomes continue to rise, greater numbers of persons will
be able to afford the luxury of owning multiple vehicles, which also
should increase the number of passenger cars in operation. However,
a slowdown in the growth of the driving-age population, as the
smaller post-baby boom generation comes of age, may curb demand for
cars and trucks. In addition, increasing demand due to growth in the
number of vehicles in operation will be partially offset by
improvements in vehicle quality and durability that improve
reliability and reduce the need for extensive repair and
maintenance.
Employment growth will continue to be concentrated in automobile
dealerships and independent automotive repair shops. Many new jobs
also will be created in small retail operations that offer
after-warranty repairs, such as oil changes, brake repair,
air-conditioner service, and other minor repairs generally taking
less than 4 hours to complete. Employment of automotive service
technicians and mechanics in gasoline service stations will continue
to decline, as fewer stations offer repair services.
In addition to job openings due to growth, a substantial number
of openings will be created by the need to replace experienced
technicians who transfer to other occupations or who retire or stop
working for other reasons. Most persons who enter the occupation can
expect steady work, because changes in general economic conditions
and developments in other industries have little effect on the
automotive repair business.
Median hourly earnings of automotive service technicians and
mechanics, including commission, were $14.71 in 2002. The middle 50
percent earned between $10.61 and $19.84. The lowest 10 percent
earned less than $8.14, and the highest 10 percent earned more than
$25.21. Median hourly earnings in the industries employing the
largest numbers of service technicians in 2002 were as follows:
| Local government |
$18.04 |
| Automobile dealers |
17.66 |
| Gasoline stations |
13.04 |
| Automotive repair and maintenance |
12.77 |
| Automotive parts, accessories, and tire stores |
12.60 |
Many experienced technicians employed by automobile dealers and
independent repair shops receive a commission related to the labor
cost charged to the customer. Under this method, weekly earnings
depend on the amount of work completed. Employers frequently
guarantee commissioned mechanics and technicians a minimum weekly
salary.
Some automotive service technicians are members of labor unions
such as the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace
Workers; the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and
Agricultural Implement Workers of America; the Sheet Metal Workers�
International Association; and the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters.
