Automotive Technicians and Mechanics Test drive vehicles, and test components and systems, using equipment such as infrared engine analyzers, compression gauges, and

computerized diagnostic devices. Examine vehicles to determine extent of damage or malfunctions. Repair, reline, replace, and adjust brakes. Follow checklists to ensure all important parts are examined, including belts, hoses, steering systems, spark plugs, brake and fuel

systems, wheel bearings, and other potentially troublesome areas. Confer with customers to obtain descriptions of vehicle problems, and to discuss work to be performed and future repair requirements. Perform routine and scheduled maintenance services such as oil changes, lubrications, and tune-ups. Repair and service air conditioning, heating, engine-cooling, and electrical systems. Test and adjust repaired systems to meet manufacturers' performance specifications. Review work orders and discuss work with supervisors. Tear down, repair, and rebuild faulty assemblies such as power systems, steering systems, and linkages.

maintenance is needed; repairing machines or systems using the needed tools. Troubleshooting — Determining causes of operating errors and deciding what to do about it. Equipment Selection — Determining the kind of tools and equipment needed to do a job. Quality Control Analysis — Conducting tests and inspections of products, services, or processes to evaluate quality or performance. Operation Control/Monitoring — Controlling operations of equipment or systems; watching gauges, dials, or other indicators. Critical Thinking/Reasoning — Using logic and reasoning to identify the strengths and weaknesses of alternative solutions, conclusions

or approaches to problems; apply general rules to specific problems to produce answers that make sense. Active Listening — Giving full attention to what other people are saying, taking time to understand the points being made, asking

questions as appropriate, and not interrupting at inappropriate times. Complex Problem Solving — Identifying complex problems and reviewing related information to develop and evaluate options and

implement solutions. Arm-Hand Steadiness — The ability to keep your hand and arm steady while moving your arm or while holding your arm and hand in

one position. Control Precision — The ability to quickly and repeatedly adjust the controls of a machine or a vehicle to exact positions. Finger Dexterity — The ability to make precisely coordinated movements of the fingers of one or both hands to grasp, manipulate, or
