This is one of the questions I get asked the most so I decided to make a video of my response. Should you get into auto repair? Good question, it really depends on you level of commitment and love for the work. I guess the best answer is that it’s likely not going to be what you think it will be. So be prepared for that. If you are considering a career in auto repair, consider diesel and fleet work, you might do quite well there. Here’s some useful links for you.
