From Grease Monkey to Technician Book Reviewer Cites, Growth Of Auto Service Man'« Status MM FOR A JOB IN AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE, by Dawson Tay- ||§|jM lor and James Bradley; Richard Ro>sen Press, Inc. 138"pp. The days have passed when the automobile mechanic was called a grease monkey and ranged low on the occupational ladder. Today, with the automobile being an increasingly complex machine, tremendous skills and thorough training are required. For the man servicing your modern car, the term technician is more appropriate than mechanic. One indication of how the auto service man's stature has risen is the advent of this volume by Dawson Taylor and James Bradley. Taylor is an auto dealer as well as a writer. Bradley is the Director of the Automotive History Collection at the Detroit Public Library. So it is with authority that the authors approach their subject. In describing afito service careers^-the authors point out that there are 33,000 franchised car dealers, 72,000 general repair outlets and 200,000 gasoline service stations that have technicians on their payroll. One automotive firm estimates that it will need 29,000 technicians this year to replace normal personnel losses Aim (or a Job in Automotive Service James J. Bratfiey Dawson Taylor at its &ealerships alone. As for earning potential, "Service technicians' wages compare favorably with those of other skilled trades and should continue to do so in the future." In a survey taken by the authors, wages of $200 or $250 or more were offered in newspaper ads. Some technicians interviewed were earning around $15,000 a year. A technician's job is a stepping stone to business ownership. "Many a successful dealer or independent busine^- man can trace his start back to experience as an automotive service technician," they state. With the great demand for qualified technicians, Wore firms are offering technic^ training, often at no cost to the trainee. Many high schools pffer automotive shop training and some schools deVote entire curricula in automotive technology. Qualified graduates of these courses usually receive several offers each from repair facilities to come to/work as trainees. On-the-job educatiofi often involves advanced- courses at training schools, paid for hy the companies. All major auto makers have such training schools. Independent organizations like the Independent Garage Owners Association (IGOA) also have training facilities with individual garage's, often paying tuition for trainees. In addition, individual firms who make specialized automotive components offer training courses in their specialties. These courses are free of charge. / "Aim For A Job In Automat tive Service," is another " edition to Rosen Press' A* ai High vocational series K <iiouid answer virtually questions about thgr' iielu to those interested in a potentially rewarding job. ,WEP., JUNE 25, 1969 - PLAINDEALER - PG. \ ^anDocs Ask9 Like M.D. fs, Open Up and Say A-aaH' In certain respects the autb- ' >tive service man and the family doctor have much in common. One notable similarity is in the problem of interpreting the patient's complaints. Often, it is not easy for a person to describe his body's ailments, or the ailments of his car. In neither case is the patient expected. to do his own diagnosing, but in both cases it helps when the doctor or mechanic has some descriptive information with which to begin his symptomatic analysis. Independent Garage Owners of America offer some advice for car owners regarding the portrayal and interpretation of their car troubles. Most mechanical problems follow set b^haviorial patterns, they ray, and often it is easier for the owner to observe and recognize these characteristics thjin it is for the mechanic. Some problems, for example, olcur only in wet weather; cithers disappear in dampness. "An elusive engine miss rfiay come and go under certain specific conditions and a real tipoff to your mechanic may be the circumstances under which that miss occurs. Is it always on a heavy pull1? Or when the car is first started in the morning? Or when it gets hot? Thlte most critical clues to cWr iroubles are: ROAD SURFACES ... is the symptom more noticeable on asphalt or concrete? Washboard? High crowned road or flat? SPEED . . . this has a bearing on most diagnoses. LOAD . . . is the trouble more pronounced with full .passenger load? On a long grade? Downhill?
