Why Choose the Programme?
Motor or auto mechanics inject new life into vehicles and are responsible for fixing the mechanical parts from the engine to the transmission and suspension systems in cars and small trucks. As a motor mechanic, you will be required to fix, reassemble, and often restore vehicle parts, so the vehicle is functional and roadworthy. Common tasks may include testing and repairing of electrical lighting systems, the replacement of damaged engine parts and general quality inspection.
