Skills needed to be a diesel mechanic. Having great communication skills, there are

always people coming in and needing their car to be fixed. There is always someone that wants

to talk about what's wrong with their truck. Creativity is one of the biggest things needed to be a

diesel mechanic. There is always something that needs to be done, and most of the time they

need to think outside of the box to get it done.

and 120,000. The benefits of being a diesel mechanic is that anyone can work their own hours.

Another benefit is that they can work at their own pace; there's nobody telling them when they

need it. The promotions are based on how long they have been working and how many hours

they work.

Some positives of becoming a diesel mechanic. I think the money is pretty good, anyone

could make a living out of it. Also everyone works their own hours, but the less hours they work

the less money they get. Some negatives being a diesel mechanic is very dirty there's always oil

and grease all over you. When someone just started being a diesel mechanic their pay isn't a lot.

mechanic have to love what they're doing, if someone doesn't like being a diesel mechanic then

they should noy be doing it. The average salary is between 60,000 and 120,000 dollars a year. To

job but when they have been working for a while the money will have been worth the wait.
