A mechanic can be a car owner's best friend or worst nightmare. When minor or major car problem arises,we depend heavily on the mechanic to diagnose and repair the issue in as little time as possible. These are top qualities and attributes you must look for in a professional car mechanic

1)Customer Service Skills
A good mechanic should be able to relate well to customers. Mechanic should have the skill to communicate effectively with customers and put them at ease about the diagnosis and repair suggestions.

2)Good Communication Skills
A good mechanic should have an excellent communication skills and should able to translate complex technical terms into simple/broken english for the average customer.

3)Labor Practices
If there is a quick way to do a job versus a better way to do it, which one will your mechanic choose? Will they charge you fairly for a lasting quality repair or charge you less for inferior work that makes you to return sooner?

4)Pricing
Consider how their pricing compares to other mechanics. Are they the cheapest? Why? Are they the most expensive? Why? Good work that costs more now will be less painful on your bank account than lesser quality work that is cheap,which needs to be revisited multiple times.

5)Good Diagnostic Skills
Your mechanic should apply skill and effort towards diagnosing problems instead of guessing with parts? You should always be given a good reason to replace a part.

6)Up to date Technology
Vehicles and technology are continually evolving, and a good mechanics stay on top of these changes so they can best serve you better.

7)Certified
While certification is not a requirement of mechanics, it demonstrates a sense of motivation and ambition to both employers and customers.

Cars today are extremely complex machines, and their unique characteristics vary heavily from brand to brand. Make sure your mechanic is skilled in your specific vehicle brand since special tools and procedures are required to correctly service or repair your car.

My own mechanic meditates and receives divine solutions to your car issue. He diagnoses your car consulting Ogun and advises on the right incantations that will give your car adequate insurance. I have never regretted patronizing Saheed Elesho who's workshrine is at Ikorodu.

Number 9 is KEEPING TO TIME

Hahahahahaha
Did i see certificate?

A good Nigerian mechanic must
1)always have oil stain on his old worn out work clothes.
2)always look like they have not taken their bath in centuries and must smell of engine oil.
3)have boys around him ready to learn from their oga.
4)must have a reputation of fixing cars fine and with good pricing.

And least I forget, his workplace must have LOTS of spoilt cars, the larger the number of spoilt cars, the more people will rush to his mechanic shop.

let me check the list again..
I rate my mechanic in stars from 0-5stars.

1.Customer service skill⭐⭐⭐⭐
2.Good communicatikn skill⭐⭐⭐⭐(he communicates well in his native language and dialect)
3.Labour practices ⭐⭐⭐⭐
4.Pricing⭐⭐⭐
5.Up to date technology ⭐
6. Certification ⭐⭐

Yes, my mechanic is my very good friend.
His workshop has become a relaxation place for me after work. Several business deals have been sealed at his shop. You see professionals from all works of life at my mechanics shop, we all have become family (including the mechanic).

I remember we all attended his wedding in mega styles, I got chatting with a friend to his bride and she asked if we all were mechanics like the groom.

Today is sunday, we don't gather at his place.
I can't wait for tomorrow evening to be at his place.

NO MATTER HOW GOOD ANY MECHANIC IS,HE MUST HAVE PEOPLE/CLIENTS WHO THINK HE'S NOT FIT FOR THE JOB.
Bottom line is you can't satisfy every client as a professional,you win some,you loose some,either way,just be the best at what you do.

You haven’t said anything. Ou just go do copy and paste.
To me the number one quality in any mechanic is integrity. This is one quality most of them lack. I prefer a truthful mechanic to one with 100yrs experience

Technically poor information. Mechanic is not office work. Research and give better presentation.

Sir, who is this your mechanic?
Re: Top 7 Qualities And Attributes You Must Look For In A Professional Car Mechanic by VehicleUnit: 6:32pm On May 28, 2018
good pricing an up-to-date technology is very key. there is no need for paying for the service standard not rendered. pricing and valued service received should balance.

hence, i prefer an auto repairer with:

1) good skill

2) better pricing

3) having a good technical know how with latest tech possible.
