I am gonna be going to school for automotive service technology and i was just wondering what is it like the first days as an auto mechanic? say i got a job at good year or firestone i heard i would just be doing tire changes and oil changes and i thoug that would be a little too little thinking i would at least do some minor repairs i know you can learn everything in school but i figure you learn quite a bit anyway about how long till i would be doing most repairs on the cars?

Automotive technicians, what is an A, B, C tech?

mm86 asked:


What repairs is each class capable of?
I know a C tech is mainly oil changes, tires, and little things like that. But what type of work would classify you as a B or an A tech?
(I work as a mechanic doing oil changes, tires, brakes, front end/suspension, alignments, trans services, rear/front diff services, tune ups, exhaust, and some other diagnostic work).
I have been trying to figure out what class I would be for future job refences.

Thanks!
