Automobile service technicians, also known as automobile mechanics, maintain and repair cars, vans, small trucks, and other vehicles. ... In addition to performing complex and difficult repairs, technicians perform a number of routine maintenance procedures, such as oil changes, tire rotation, and battery replacement.

Instructions

• A motor vehicle service or tune-up is a series of maintenance procedures carried out at a set time interval or after the vehicle has traveled a certain distance.
• The service intervals are specified by the vehicle manufacturer in a service schedule and some modern cars display the due date for the next service electronically on the instrument panel.
• A tune-up should not be confused with engine tuning, which is the modifying of an engine to perform better than the original specification,
• rather than using maintenance to keep the engine running as it should.The completed services are usually recorded in a service book upon completion of each service.
• A complete service history usually adds to the resale value of a vehicle.
