To repair a precision made machine a
mechanic needs the knowledge, parts and equipment to actually take on
the task. It's specifically difficult when it comes to vehicle since
there are so many and most of the different manufacturers have
different ways of constructing the vehicles. There is also the ever
present problem of restoring old vehicles that require you to do
extensive research about every specific part that you can get your
hands on. With the advent of the internet this process has become a
tad simpler, but you'll still need the manufacturer's manual for
every vehicle you need to repair. Then you'll need the parts which is
simple enough since there are many auto part shops that have a
variety of different up to date parts.
Then you have the tools that are
required to actually repair and restore the vehicle's parts, guts and
exterior. You'll need to make sure your shop is well equipped to take
on the variety of vehicles you'll be repairing. Tools such as your
spanner wrench set will be used for almost every repair since
bolts and screws are the most common way vehicles are held together.
The act of disassembling the vehicle's engine and parts can't be
accomplished without the use of a spanner wrench set because of its
versatility. However, another key factor every mechanic needs to
remember is to mark every part when disassembling any component
especially when disassembling the engine since there are too many
components to keep track of.
You should then consider the other
tools and equipment you will need. The first of which should be
pliers and cutters which will help with electrical equipment and
dashboard repair. Screwdrives, mallets, zipties and duct tape which
will help you make quick and simple repairs. Then you'll need to
decide the powered equipment you'll be using to lift the vehicle,
unscrew the bolts on the wheels and change the oil which is what
you'll mostly be doing. There is a need for all kinds of electrical
and hoisting equipment for the repair of every vehicle you'll be
repairing. Hoisting equipment specifically will be needed when you'll
be using to lift the engine out of the compartment, either for
disassembly or for adding new components.
Lastly you should never stop
considering the equipment you'll require for all of the different
repairs and upgrades commisioned in your shop. Some tools and
equipment that aren't essential but would be useful are the ones that
make certain tasks easier such as the high torque impact wrench and
stronger, larger lifts.
