Automotive technicians work as closely with people as they do with cars. After all, it's the customer who has heard that strange sound the car is making and it's the customer whose life may depend on the diagnosis and repair that a technician makes. Sometimes a problem may not be mechanical but a malfunction in the increasingly complex computers found in today's cars. Many automotive technicians now specialize in a particular area, such as air-conditioning, transmission, or brakes.
According to MoneyTalks News, the average pay for auto service technicians and mechanics is about $40,000 per year.
