An auto mechanic (automotive technician in most of North America, car

mechanic in British English and motor mechanic in Australian English) is a

mechanic with a variety of automobile makes or either in a specific area or in a
specific make of automobile. In repairing cars, their main role is to diagnose
the problem accurately and quickly.
They often have to quote prices for their customers before commencing work or after partial
disassembly for inspection. Their job may involve the repair of a specific part or the
replacement of one or more parts as assemblies.
Basic vehicle maintenance is a fundamental part of a mechanic's work in modern
industrialized countries while in others they are only consulted when a vehicle is already
showing signs of malfunction. Preventative maintenance is also a fundamental part of a
mechanic's job, but this is not possible in the case of vehicles that are not regularly
maintained by a mechanic. One misunderstood aspect of preventative maintenance is
scheduled replacement of various parts, which occurs before failure to avoid far more
expensive damage. Because this means that parts are replaced before any problem is
observed, many vehicle owners will not understand why the expense is necessary.
