Light Vehicle Automotive Technicians service, maintain and repair cars and light vans. They are required to test vehicle systems and diagnose faults before repairing or replacing components to manufacturer specifications. They advise customers on repair work and complete estimates, as well as maintaining service and maintenance records.
