What should an auto mechanic resume include?

An auto mechanic resume should show the vehicles and systems you work on, your diagnostic skills and tools, any certifications or manufacturer training, and bullets with real repairs and results. Workshop managers want to see quickly whether you fit their garage: brand dealer, independent, fleet, or quick-service.

Core sections:

• Header: name, "Automotive Technician" or "Auto Mechanic", phone, email, city, driving licence.
• Summary: years, vehicle types or brands, strengths.
• Certifications and training with years.
• Skills: diagnostics, engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, electrical, AC.
• Work experience with bullets.
• Technical education.

Example summary (fictional): "Automotive technician with seven years at a Japanese-brand dealership, specialising in engine diagnostics, hybrid systems and warranty repairs."

Keep it to one or two pages and use a plain layout that reads well on online job portals.
