How can I learn to be a mechanic?

I don’t think there’s an easy answer here, because the average rate of employee churn is around two years in the auto industry, and that probably means lots of learning on the job.  Do you have any particular skills or interests in cars?  Or are you interested in learning all about engines?  Do you just want to learn a little, to get a job?

I want to be able to fix my own car.

That’s a good reason.  I think you should check out auto repair for beginners, and start with finding used cars that need work.  Maybe you could also ask your friends if anyone is willing to let you help them out?  Is there anything in particular you’d want to learn, such as how to do basic maintenance?  Or do you want to learn about all different car problems and things you can fix?

Okay, where else could I learn?

Maybe you could try a university program, or even take a night or weekend course somewhere.

All right, I will try that.
