To become a mechanic, one needs to finish high school and obtain postsecondary training and credentials. Mechanics must be creative, smart, humble, patient, and careful individuals who can treat customers well, finish jobs on time, leave cars in good condition, and teach others. The job requires diagnostic abilities, integrated skills, preparation, organization, and longevity. Mechanics typically work weekdays but should prepare to work 7 days a week, late hours, and handle multiple vehicles simultaneously while always planning ahead and working with others. The average annual salary for a mechanic is $38,560 or about $18.54 per hour.
