I'm currently writing an application for a training as an automotive technician…
How could I write this sentence differently?
"In my spare time, I often repair laptops and computers from friends and acquaintances, and I want to invest this passion in the electronics and technology of a car."
If I say that I fix, you could understand that I know about the hardware… But I do not. I know only the software, so to speak…
install windows, reset windows, update fix, install driver, install printer… I know, this is nothing special, but I want to specify this in the application, because I have nothing else to show…
That is already very thin… Windows install and printer connect now have nothing to do with cars.
I would simply write that you are interested in the profession of car mechanic / mechatronics and not trying to pull something by the hair.
The boss is supposed to invite you to a job interview and not to die from a laughing fit.
Honestly, I would not write such a sentence. It is quite nice that you help your circle of friends with the installation of software, but this bears no resemblance to the vocational training as a car mechatronics specialist and at the latest in the interview this dizziness falls on.
What else can you write? You certainly did a school internship, possibly also a voluntary one, in which area was that? Do you do anything in your spare time related to the actual repair of equipment? Is it in your friends and relatives circle of persons doing this job or similar.
You can insert your software knowledge in the CV.
You apply as a technician, not as a mechatronic - ergo wrong approach.
PC technology and cars have very little technical similarities.
Automotive technician is the same as kfz-mechatroniker, or not?

No offense, but if you do not know the difference, you have definitely not been sufficiently informed. I would like to ask you the question why you want to learn service technology and not mechatronics. These are different education.
I have researched again and do not understand what I have overlooked…
have you read the fields of application of this job ad?

Responsibilities:
• Verification of traffic and operational safety
• Maintenance and repair of motor vehicles
• Detecting defects and their causes
those are the areas of responsibility of a car mechatronic, or not? Can it be that porsche is not the word mechatronics used but technicians?
and then it says "you bring with you: interest in mechanics and electronics"
They bring with them:
• Interest in mechanics and electronics
• Technical understanding and manual dexterity
• Quick comprehension and reliability
• Physical resilience and independence
There are different training courses with different degrees.
A car service technician is a different education than a car mechatronics engineer. Of course, a technician today has to do with electronics, but the focus is on vehicle technology.
Basically, it's like a human resources salesman and an industrial clerk. Clear are both merchants, but one has finished cars, the other industry as a focus. Likewise, these two professions are different.
The specified areas of responsibility are actually no matter, it is about the degree that you acquire and this job is not for a mechatronics, but a mechanic or technician.
Incidentally, according to the website even further distinguished at Porsche.
They train, for example, the automotive mechatronics specialist for system / high-voltage technology and those for passenger car technology. These too would be two different professions with different degrees.
