He or she may use a number of tools to identify, diagnose and solve vehicle problems. A mechanic typically works in an auto body shop.
Auto body shops are places where the mechanic can fix the car and typically holds a number of tools that the mechanic can use for fixing. They can come in various sizes and locations, but essentially function in the same way. Some stores that carry auto parts also have body shops attached where the client can purchase what's necessary and get the car fixed at the same time.
An auto body repair shop can be independently owned, company owned, or franchised out. They may offer different services and act in slightly different ways, but they still have to abide by the correct methods as defined by the law.
Some auto body shops are those that belong to a specific dealership. These are commonly found on the same premises as the dealership itself. The difference is the mechanic is only authorized to deal with those cars that belong to that manufacturer. An advantage of this type of repair shop is that some places offer warranties when you buy a car through a dealership that include repairs to it. You can also pretty much guarantee honest, safe work.
Due to rapid advances in technology, a motor mechanic is more and more commonly known as an electronics mechanic because of the complex computer systems and cables that lay within a particular vehicle.
