What is the name of the job where you scan broken cars with a so-called computer, or try to find the fault in the car with the help of the computer?
Do you need a degree or just an apprenticeship for the job?

So you have your own workshop and then people come to you with a broken car, but they don't know what exactly is broken, I have to find out with the help of the computer or with the help of the scan that I made with my special computer / Running laptop.

The father of a friend of mine once told me and I was so excited because he only earns money with this scan of the car, which means he doesn't have to do anything except this scan, and that's how he finds out which part in the car needs to be repaired.

I would be very happy to hear from you!

In principle, this is the job of the automotive mechatronics engineer.

That is what the ADAC or the workshop does and that is called: engine diagnosis is not a job in itself

Mu

But what profession does it belong to?

ja

I only really know the method in which the laptop is connected to the vehicle's OBD socket and the error memory can be read out and deleted using a diagnostic program. Of course you can also make software changes, but that takes a little more…

This profession is called automotive mechatronics technician.

You don't have to learn a trade to do just one job.

Nevertheless, a car mechanic does it, he also learns a lot more in his training.

Da

Motor vehicle mechatronics technician or tow truck

Mu

Do I then only need to become a car mechatronics technician, or is there still a need for further training?

Mu

Does the automotive mechatronics technician really do that, or only if you have completed a certain advanced training course after your training?

Ti

"just".

In some workshops you will learn this during your apprenticeship. At other workshops you will only work with normal tools.

Da

No dr does it

Bo

Nowadays, no workshop can do without a diagnostic device.

Bo

This is part of the job of a motor vehicle mechatronics engineer. This is an apprenticeship. This also includes repairing the vehicles.

Tr

Car locksmith! The special computer only records data - it can't do anything else.

Mi

Everyone wants to become a mechatronics engineer, which is why the apprenticeships are very popular. For many things you need additional training, but for things like e.g. Replacing a catalytic converter or a lambda probe, the car mechatonic technician should already be sufficiently trained.
