UNIT 1
 I do believed that there are chances in the automotive technology industry for you to
become hyper-focused on a certain aspect of the car industry, such as automobile
body and glass repair.
 There are many automotive-related opportunities. Many graduates of automotive
technology schools are qualified to work as teachers or trainers, requiring little or no
additional training for an entry-level role.
 Repairing and maintaining today's modern automobiles, according to what I've learnt,
necessitates knowledge of a wide range of systems and technologically advanced
sectors. To be certified, technicians are required to have at least two years of
experience and pass an ASE written exam. To keep their certification, they must
retake the test every five years.
 Automotive mechanics will need to attend training seminars throughout their careers
in order to keep current with changes and improvements in the sector. Technicians
may be trained in their place of employment or must attend lessons at a technical
school or college.
 Some shops are unionized, which means that the technicians who work there are
bound by union regulations about wages and other matters.
UNIT II
 Safety at the automobile shop, according to what I've learnt, is everyone's duty. Safety
entails keeping yourself and others safe at all times. Working in a shop necessitates
the use of a wide range of tools. Materials and equipment that, if not handled
appropriately, might cause injury to the worker and others in the shop.
 It is said an automobile mechanic walks from one section of the shop to another while
working, moving components and equipment throughout the shop and completing a
variety of jobs. The shop floor must be clear of any dangers that may lead technicians
to slip or trip.
 Personal protective gear and equipment, it is also stated, should not be regarded the
primary line of defense against injury, but rather as a backup.
 Everyone in the automotive industry, including technicians, must make it clear to the
public that the SRS alone does not guarantee optimum safety in a crash.
 Last but not least, it is critical to identify suitable lifting places. Improper lifting might
result in serious injury. In any repair situation, common sense, as well as an
awareness of vehicle architecture and vehicle supporting procedures, must be
employed.
UNIT III
  Never use gasoline or other chemicals for uses other than those indicated on the
product can or container, according to what I've learnt. Before using any solvent or
chemical, check with the teacher.
 I’ve learned that when filling the windshield washer fluid reservoir in the winter,
check the label to determine if the solution includes the antifreeze required. Due to
expansion, freezing might result in a fractured reservoir tank.
 That's unsafe to leave gasoline cans open or uncapped in the shop area, so don't do it.
Fumes can clump together and erupt.
 As technicians, we should never allow oil to come into contact with any part of an
oxyacetylene torch set or employ compressed oxygen or acetylene.
 Allowing battery acid to come into contact with the skin or eyes can result in
significant burns and injury. The acid will also eat holes in your clothes. So according
to what I’ve learned allowing it is not good..
UNIT 4
 For loosening and tightening bolts and nuts, I learnt that all technicians should have a
set of both metric and USCS wrenches. An open-end wrench is also used to keep the
fitting securely in place while connecting it to the steel line. Allowing the steel cable
to twist is not a good idea.
 I discovered in this lesson that 3/4-in bolts are utilized for massive, heavy-duty bolts
seen in vehicles. The 1/2-in size is utilized on big automobile bolts, although
technicians prefer the 3/8-in size. Because of its compactness, the 1/4-in size is
utilized for very little tasks.
 I discovered that bolt torque parameters are really significant. The surfaces being
bonded or the bolt/nut will be destroyed if too much torque is applied. The bolt may
go loose if there is insufficient torque applied.
 When converting huge breaker bars to smaller drive sockets, I learnt that it is need to
be cautious since the torque capability of the tiny socket may be exceeded.
 I found that a regular screwdriver should not be used as a pry bar, chisel, or gasket
scraper. These screwdriver abuses can harm the tool and hurt the technician.

UNIT 5
 When operating a hacksaw, I've learned that we should always wear safety glasses
and strong gloves. The blade has the potential to shatter. Also, make sure the thing
being sawed is securely fastened.
 To avoid hand harm, I've learned that we should utilize a handle on the file. Never use
a file as a pry bar or bang on it. Files are fragile and can shatter, resulting in serious
injuries.
 I’ve learned that vehicles employ a variety of fasteners to keep various components
together, and technicians must be knowledgeable with them all. Nuts & bolts,
washers, screws, and studs are just a few of the most popular threaded fastener types.
Snap rings, rivets, and adhesives are examples of common fasteners.
  I learnt that we should never use a weaker bolt in place of a stronger one. It is also
vital to follow the manufacturer's instructions while using adhesives because certain
adhesives are poisonous, combustible, and hazardous if breathed.
 I learnt that precision measuring tools need to be properly cared for and used in order
for them to be accurate and last a long time. An inaccurate measurement can lead to
costly component failure, and the measurement is not easily visible on the outside
micrometer. In order to get the micrometer reading, some addition is necessary. To
acquire precise results, the technician must develop a feel for the outside micrometer.
UNIT 6
 I learned that electric hand tools are still used in shops, but some have been replaced
with pneumatic (air-operated) equipment, which is often lighter.
 I learned that we shouldn't mess around with compressed air blowguns or hoses. The
high-pressure air stream can induce serious infection, need amputation of a limb, and
even result in death.
 In this topic, I learnt that an air ratchet should only be used to tighten a bolt. To finish
tightening a bolt, you should use a standard ratchet or torque wrench.
 According to the information in this module, "shop equipment" refers to big or
expensive items of equipment or tools that are often provided by the business owner.
 I also learnt that we should keep a safe distance from any thing being hoisted in case
the hoist fails or topples, or the object being lifted comes free, and that we should
study the equipment manufacturer's maintenance recommendations.

UNIT 7
 Vehicles have improved to the point where servicing information is used on every
task. Diagnostic processes, specs, and servicing procedures are all included in this
data. Technicians must know where to look for information and how to use it.
 Vehicles have advanced to the point where service data is employed on every
operation, according to what I've learned. This material includes diagnostic
techniques, specifications, and servicing procedures. Because numerous technological
changes occur after the service, technicians must know where to seek for information
and how to use it. The information has been made public. The information in the
TSBs will also be included in the next service information version.
 I've learned that employing electronic data instead of printed documents saves space.
Furthermore, using a computer to retrieve information is more convenient and saves
time.
 The repair sections, which cover each vehicle system, offer extensive techniques for
diagnosing, examining, testing, and repairing the systems, according to what I've
learned. The following characteristics are also included in these sections:
 I've heard engine codes give technicians information about the vehicle's engine, such
as its horsepower rating and whether it was built for a manual or automatic
transmission.
UNIT 8
 I discovered that people get dismissed more frequently for their inability to work well
with others than for a lack of technical knowledge. The technician's and other
workers' actions may imperil the shop's financial viability.
 The quantity and kind of client interaction necessary in an automobile mechanic role
varies based on the shop's organization and policies, I learnt.
 I learned that the consumer is likely to be frustrated since the vehicle on which he or
she relies is unavailable, and that the repair may be costly.
 I learned that in most stores, the service manager/writer is in charge of phoning the
consumer.
 Before performing a road test, I learnt that we should always get permission from the
instructor. Carry out the road test in an area where there is little or no traffic. During
the road test, never exceed the legal speed limit. Wear your seatbelt at all times. All
observations made during the road test should be recorded by an assistant. Driving
and recording findings at the same time is not a good idea.
