auto mechanism
With the rapid advancement in technology, the mechanics job has evolved from purely from purely mechanical to electronic technology. This is because vehicles of today have complex computer and electronic systems; mechanics need to have broader knowledge than before.

Due to the nature of technology that is now incorporated in automobile dealers and independent workshops Basic vehicle maintenance is the fundamental part of a mechanics work in modern industrialized countries, while in others they are only consulted when a vehicle is already showing signs of malfunction.
Though preventive maintenance is part of fundamental part of mechanics job, but this is not possible in the case of vehicles that are not regularly maintained by a mechanic have now been providing sophisticated computers to each technician, without which they would be unable to diagnose or repair a vehicle.

Moreover, the internet has also given the platform for the spread of information on automobiles with certified mechanics providing advice online that aids in repairing and diagnosing vehicles. It also enlightens and gives fair idea in the production of a new automobile.


Service manuals for vehicles have become significantly less prevalent with computers that are connected to the internet taking their place. This is because, majority of automobile technicians are well endowed with the ancient and the traditional knowledge in the maintenance of automobile. Suame magazene can be fairly use as a case study or critical examples to that. Most technicians at this place are well vested with much knowledge in the repairs of automobile, but they lack the lack the necessary logistics for the repair of modern automobile.

Currently, there has been some level of improvement by the Ghanaian government in the automobile industry. Considering an initiative by Plan Ghana with the Korean government, there has been some level of development in the sector.
As a practitioner, my aim is to bring up the various issues that surround this sector and also find the necessary solution to it.
