Work EnvironmentAuto repair shops, dealerships, service centersAuto body repair shops, collision centers
Industry UsageGeneral automotive maintenance and repairSpecialized in collision repair and bodywork
Common Search/ComparisonYesYes

Entry Level Auto roles focus on general vehicle maintenance and basic repairs, while Entry Level Auto Body Technicians specialize in collision repair and bodywork. Both positions require some technical knowledge, but Auto Body Technicians often need specific certifications. The work environments are similar, typically within repair shops or dealerships, but their skill sets and job functions differ significantly.

Can I work at an auto shop with no experience?

Entry level auto technician positions often do not require prior experience, as employers may provide on-the-job training. Basic mechanical skills, a willingness to learn, and a valid driver's license can help you get started, but some shops may prefer candidates with related certifications or technical training. Starting in entry-level roles can lead to gaining hands-on experience and advancing in the field.

What job makes $10,000 a month without a degree?

Entry-level auto-related jobs typically do not pay $10,000 a month without significant experience or specialized skills. High earnings in auto careers usually require advanced certifications, sales success, or ownership of a business such as auto dealerships or repair shops, which can generate substantial income. Most standard entry-level auto roles pay below this threshold.

What is the $160,000 mechanic job that Ford can't fill?

The high-paying mechanic job often refers to specialized roles such as automotive service managers or master technicians, which can pay up to $160,000 annually. These positions typically require advanced certifications, extensive experience, and expertise in diagnosing complex vehicle systems, often in high-volume or luxury service environments.

How to get into working on cars with no experience?

Entry level auto technician positions often require little to no experience, and you can start by gaining basic knowledge through online courses or automotive classes. Gaining hands-on experience through internships, volunteering at repair shops, or obtaining entry-level certifications like ASE can improve your chances of employment in the automotive industry.

At Carvana, we sell cars, but we're not salespeople. Since 2013, we've been making it our mission to change the way people buy cars.
