NO. A common sense of hand tools and some emchanical knowledge is helpful. try going to a tech school where you can learn more about diagnostics and maybe find a part time job in a Sears or other automotive repair center.
good luck

Not at all...that is why there are so many TERRIBLE "professional auto mechanics". I have worked with a few guys who went to school for it, and were still useless in the shop, and at the same time, Ive worked with guys who just grew up around cars, and although they had no professional training, they really knew their stuff. Some people just dont have the know how.

Go to a Jr college or a community college take The Engine, first about 3 units then take charging and starting then tune up and then diagnostic. a good year of schooling. I took a couple of classes and worked in a shop where the mechanices had about100 years between 3 guys they taught me alot. one guy had sold lamps went to school and knew next to nothing and he turned out to be the top guy in the shop. They still go to school from time to time.

no,,you can take classes for being a mechanic through a vocational school or any trade school that offers them, own a repair shop,and have been doing this for 36 yrs,i took most of mine through a vocational school and then took some factory training also,but there are lots of ways to learn,you can get a job at a repair shop,and take class,s at night or something,most of today's repair work has to do with a lot of electrical work,good luck i hope this helps.
