Decline in trained mechanics could cost you time and money

^{Published on 2025-03-18 03:41:28 - KHON2}

There is a growing need for mechanics of all kinds across the country, including here in Hawaii. If that need isn't filled, it could negatively impact us all.

The article from KHON2 discusses a significant decline in the number of trained mechanics in Hawaii, which is leading to longer wait times and higher costs for vehicle repairs. This shortage is attributed to several factors including an aging workforce, with many experienced mechanics nearing retirement, and a lack of new entrants into the field due to perceptions of the job being dirty or low-paying. Additionally, the complexity of modern vehicles, which now require knowledge of advanced electronics and computer systems, has made the profession more challenging. This situation not only affects car owners with increased repair times and costs but also impacts the automotive industry's ability to maintain service quality. Efforts are being made to attract younger individuals to the trade through educational programs and apprenticeships, but the gap remains wide, potentially affecting the economy as transportation issues could lead to decreased productivity.
