You’ll need that when handling pliers and wrenches. You’ll also be constantly removing and replacing sockets. You should be confident enough to manage the large variety of tools.
• Computer Knowledge. Automotive Technicians use software to run diagnostic tests. There are different programs that you can use. Try to be proficient in 2 to 3 of the most popular programs. Software diagnostics is a faster way to find out what is wrong with the car.
