Demand for automotive service technicians and mechanics is expected to grow about as fast as the average among all occupations over the 2014-2024 decade, according to the BLS. The number of jobs is expected to rise by 5% over that period, which will result in an estimated 39,100 new jobs being created. Automotive dealerships and independent automotive repair facilities will create the most job opportunities. The need for technicians will also increase with the number of vehicles on the road.
