Automotive Service Technicians repair, adjust and replace mechanical and electrical parts in automobiles and light trucks. They repair damaged components and perform preventative maintenance, inspect completed work and test that the vehicle’s performance meets required standards. Technicians must communicate effectively with customers to explain service needs, provide advice on general vehicle conditions and future repair requirements. Upon successful completion of all four apprenticeship levels and appropriate time in the trade, the student may be eligible to write the Inter-provincial exam in Automotive Service Technician.
