With the vast number of different types and makes of vehicle on the market, it would be unfair to expect a mechanic to be a specialist in all aspects of every make and variety of vehicle.

There are mechanics who deal specifically with certain makes of vehicle, or concentrate their specialist expertise on particular areas, for instance the electrics or electronic components of the vehicle. To name just a few, we have auto, diesel, heavy or small vehicle, aircraft, electrical, heating, air-conditioning and refrigeration mechanics, all of whom play an essential part in keeping an economy on its wheels and running smoothly, so to speak! If we consider just one sector of mechanics, those who deal with road vehicles, we find that this is divided into further specialist categories. When we think of a mechanic, we usually immediately associate this specialist with our road vehicles, and tend not to take into account the different types of mechanic specialists. This is why we need the specialized services of mechanics. No matter what type of vehicle is used, or for what purpose, it is vital that these are maintained for optimum efficiency at all times. Motor vehicles are a major part of the backbone of the South African economy. So much of our merchandise is shipped from one city to another on a national basis, and commercial enterprise relies heavily on the distribution of its goods to all areas in the country.

South Africa is a vast country, and motor vehicles of all kinds are travelling its roads every single day, whether for business or pleasure.
