In Australia a Mechanic is a higher regarded person than someone who goes by the label of a Technician. Typically only dealerships label their workforce as Technicians and use this as a loophole for paying a lower wage, and with this they will typically almost always have a less skilled mix of people. We have guys that don't know how to do super basic electrical tests, some can't even use a multimeter. I've seen guys ask (repeatedly) if a car is petrol or diesel because they can't tell the difference. I'm a trade mechanic and recently started working for a major dealership to upskill and train myself and find a lot of guys really don't have much of an idea how to diagnose without a scan tool, which is a skill most Mechanics pride themself with. Thanks for the videos, keep them coming.

It's the exact same in the US and this guy is talking nonsense. A Diagnostician is something of itself, not part of being a technician. Mechanics are expected to also be Diagnosticians. Technicians are parts changers. He works at a dealer, which is the lowest grade auto repair you can find next to a sketchy guy on craigslist. There are far more horror stories about dealers ripping people off and misdiagnosing things than any other form of shop.

Congratulations! Excellent description of an effective process for solving automotive problems and faults. Most of my family and friends have had bad experiences with auto shops. Changing parts that did not solve the problem because they were not the root cause. I sincerely believe that mechanical technicians should take your 6 steps and your recommendations as their top priority. I personally will follow the order of your 6 steps and only at the end I will add one more step: I will document each diagnosis in detail to form a database, which I will be able to consult in the future.

I have been working on cars professionally since 1976 when I was discharged from the U.S, Navy as a Diesel Mechanic. I passed the Master ASE test in December of 1977. I have seen the evolution of ignition systems from points and condensors to what we have today. So I think I might have the right to an opinion. In the late 1970s ANDY GRANATELLI and Tune Up Masters coined the term Automobile Technicain. The reason was with the advent of Sun Electric inventing diagnostic scopes that could do realtive cranking compresion and KV test with the other 4 gas test and print a report that could be given to a customerwith an estimate of what was required to restore a vehicle back to proper operation. Thus we have the the dictionary definition of technicain. It was automated and the same testing was done on every vehicle. I will let you look it up. Now a mechanic is defined as "A worker skilled in making, using, or repairing machines, vehicles, and tools." the Free Dictionary. I don't mind being called a technician since the marketing has been to redefine the title of my profession but really I am a mechanic. Best regards, TIm Roland ASE Master L1.

I’m in school to be a tech and working, doing both full time. My car had a DTC It was a P0328 code. I did the bare minimum of replacing the knock sensor, and that didn’t fix it. With school and work I didn’t have more time to mess with it, so I took it to a shop. They got back to me the next day with a diagnosis. When I dropped it off I asked them if they were going to check the electrical and mechanical sides of things and they said yes. Their official diagnosis was: needs new knock sensor. I asked AGAIN: “are y’all certain? Did y’all do a resistance test on the sensor and check the wiring harness?” The guy said yes… I told them to go for it (mainly for the warranty) he calls back 30mins later saying that it was an electrical issue and they went ahead and fixed it. I told them to save the old sensor for me, they did. I know as a customer it is my responsibility to give as much info as possible to the service writer. But also as a customer I expect the tech go through all the steps to rule out issues and properly diagnose something.

A mechanic is someone who understands and has the ability to diagnose and repair a mechanical device. I.E. older mechanical controlled engines and transmissions(that’s what I’m better at than diagnosing the electronic controlled systems) there are able to diagnose and fix/repair the mechanical device without a fancy scanner, but instead rely on analog devices and tools! Thule the technitian can diagnose and repair a vehicle that is electronically controlled or operated using sophisticated tools to read and calibrate components.
@adamswelding5052Ай бұрын
And I refer to myself as mechanic even though I’m capable of doing both because I work on both but prefer older mechanical systems. Yes some of the newer stuff is easier to diag but there can be false in diag from electrical issues that require more digging into where as the systems I like to work on most of the other guys in the shops can’t figure out how to diag them(few where I’ve worked can figure out how to fix stuff if they can’t hook up a scan tool to them)

The problem is I actually know alot but I just cant get a descent paying position here. Am looking into furthering my education with this as well as opening my own shop because for 13 years I ran my own business and made alot better money working for myself. Regardless I'm not up to date on all of the new technologies no I'm not but I have tried to get up to date with the dealership that I worked for before and their rewards program sucked so bad that after I left 3 other technicians left for the same reason. They expect you to have all of these expensive tools yet they dont pay you enough to afford to buy them and especially not to be able to survive on after you have bought them. So no I will not go back to work for a dealership. You may enjoy and love working for one but based on my own experience here in Chilton county Alabama they reward is nothing. The bad thing is they do this to everyone tehy hire and this is supposed to be the largest dodge dealership in the U.S..

I am f the opinion that a middle man is a bad thing in this industry. having the ability to directly speak to the customer is very important to me. I want to interrogate the vehicle owner myself to know exactly what, when, and how the so I can then determine why there is an issue. This is especially important with intermittent concerns and noises. Again, just my opinion.

My issue is what is a true diagnostic at a dealer . I had one mechanic scan my car and say it was just a sensor and when it wasn’t I told him If I had to pay him full since he gave me a bad diagnostic, he says he never did a diagnostic . So I realized the scan isn’t a true diagnostic , he said he’d have to pull apart the engine and get a wiring schematic and see the oil pump for the p06da code on the Pentastar 3.6 engine . So I took it to the dealer instead , they told me they don’t look at just the code but isolate the issue . Yet I get a call in an hour about all these things that need to get fixed, one being the oil pump. When I checked online for the p06da code I saw it can be the solenoid at the oil pump or ground wiring issue , and PCM. So if a diagnostic is more than a simple scan and actually getting in and testing the part, how is it possible to get the the pump and truly diagnose in an hour . Seems to me they just scanned it and charged me 155 for it and essentially did no real work . They apparently checked my whole car yet told me to diagnose odd rocker arm issues it would be another diagnostic issue. Also told me my wipers were fine on their checklist and one wiper doesn’t even move. So what am I really playing for.

In my mind a technician is someone who cannot do this and relies on one computer to fix another computer. After the year 2000 cars got computer chips and now we need “technicians” or “fitters” who find a faulty part and replace it(THEY DO NOT FIX THE ENGINE).

Mechanic vs. Technician. Why do so many get this wrong? You're a tradesman. You are a Mechanic by trade because you fix machines. has no bearing on skill level. As a mechanic you happen to be a GM (or whatever) technician meaning you specialize in repairing GM products. That is your Job, not your trade. You could fix Caterpillars or airplane engines, you're still a mechanic. Someone who fixes washing machines is an appliance repairman, doesn't matter if he's employed by Kenmore or Maytag. Lube Tech, General Maintenance Tech, Technician, Master Technician. Those indicate technician skill level in automotive.

CLOSE: mechanics swap parts (& follow instructions), technicians diagnose problems others cannot (even when novel to them). (requires logic and IQ). You need to fix that acronym, because the words are ambiguous. Terms like: Communicate, identify, confirm, [rca] (root-cause analysis), Doing a temp fix if possible is best so you know before you doing an hours work only to find it's not the cause. But, the ones that are crucial for those techs talking to customers ... getting AUTHORIZATION that's clear if the communication is by phone (text may be preferred if they're squirrely). In diagnosing, a word that may be good is "falsifiable" ... (check out Karl Popper) ... another point to consider is the _"NECESSARY & SUFFICIENT"_ criteria against a solution. Is it a _sufficient_ cause of the issue? Is it a _necessary_ cause of the issue? If it's lacking either, you have at least an additional problem, or, you just have a _false-start_ (mistaken cause). Sometimes my techs would test something that could've been the issue and falsely rule out a potential category of problem just because they tested an affiliate issue. If the test isn't definitive, people will falsely conflate them as being so. This falls into the category of epistemology. What do you know, and when can you be sure you do..?

Actually its easier to diagnose today because computers do all the work for you. The only issue older mechanics have is when its an electronics in newer cars but in time computers will make that a lot easier as well. Truth is you'll never stop learning in the car diagnostic's/mechanic field. Technology is always changing. When I was young OBD had just came out. On-board diagnostics didn't get used by GM until 1980 & it was just 12 years earlier that Volkswagen started using it. What people should be questioning is why is the Government allowed to mandate these systems in cars? That's a ton of freedoms people have given up. Its just like the idea of "Government Property". The US Government is supposed to be owned by the Citizens so how could they ever obtain there own property? Anyway its a never ending cycle with technology.
