There is such a shortage of mechanics. Nevertheless, a new survey shows that half of those who are already there want to quit.
In the future, there may be longer intervals between assistance if/when your car breaks down. Mechanics are already in short supply. Both at home and abroad.
What's worse, a new survey, which Wrenchway is behind, shows that the mechanics want to quit in a big way.
In the survey, both apprentices, mechanics and managers were asked about a wide range of conditions. Including salary, holidays/days off, distance to and from work and career opportunities.
One of the key questions in the investigation was whether the mechanics had considered resigning and leaving the industry. A whopping 49 percent of them answered yes.

According to the survey, one of the biggest reasons for the dissatisfaction is that the mechanics are stressed about their salary. Physical and mental demands of the job were less important to the mechanics surveyed.
At Motor1, which also refers to the investigation, they have made their own round of inquiries among mechanics. And although it was difficult to get people to talk, the media's own investigation paints the same picture.
Outside of the quote, quite a few mechanics say that it stresses them out where the plug is going to come from. In the USA, the mechanics are often only employed in the same place for shorter periods at a time. So it is somewhat different compared to here at home.
Nevertheless, there is also a shortage of mechanics here at home. Last year, a survey by Autobranchen Danmark showed that 6 out of 10 workshops have to keep customers waiting. Read more about it here .
