Answer:   It is true the Automotive Industry has changed over the last 10 years. Auto Mechanics have gone from "grease monkeys" to a respected professionals. From grease under the finger nails to latex gloves, from a $500.00 dollar engine scopes to a full blown state of the art computer diagnostic scanners. ($10,000)  As far as income, Auto Repair Technicians are the doctors of transportation, and if you don't think so just look at your last repair bill. A good mechanic will never be obsolete and never under paid. (note: a computer can never repair a car by its self.).....  can you tell, I love this Job.. (2CarPro Ken)
