Did you know that 2021 is an inspiring year for the automotive industry? It's true. When the pandemic still has its grips on the global economy, we thought it would be a good idea to talk about the good things that are going on in this month's blog. So, why not begin by sharing the good news happening within the auto repair industry?
Let's begin by listing ten reasons why it's an exciting time to be working in the automotive industry!
People rely on their vehicles, which makes the auto repair industry recession-resistant.
Automobile manufacturers are transitioning from gas-powered vehicles to electric-powered vehicles within this decade.
Hybrids and EVs are becoming more popular than ever, and their owners love them!
There are plenty of jobs within our industry. Plus, there is a growing number of female shop owners, technicians, parts specialists, and service advisors -- which means equal opportunities for everyone.
Cruising and drive-in theaters are experiencing a resurgence in popularity, which means more people are using their cars for entertainment purposes.
Road trips within 100-miles of home are increasing to destinations like campgrounds, hiking, water sports, and other outdoor activities.
Delivery services to and from home -- think packages, food, and people -- are increasing. This provides a unique opportunity for people driving in the transportation industry.
Advancing automotive technology continues to bring new electronics and safety features to vehicles.
The United States is a large country and personal vehicles will continue to be a large part of American households.
Becoming a well-paid automotive technician and service advisor costs a lot less money in education than a college degree. The training required for automotive certification will not saddle people with large amounts of debt.
