you don't need any math classes to be a good mechanic those classes (math,english,history,science) are just basic classes which most people take because they need them for college(assuming your talking about college). they have nothing to do with being a good mechanic

A mechanic generally needs a year of formal classroom instruction, and a few years of an apprenticeship. The apprenticeship is where they receive hands-on training from an already licensed mechanic.

Is engineering tough if you are good at algebra?

Basically, any university study is tough. In the case of engineering, you need to learn lots of math and science. However, being good an algebra is a good sign. Of course you'll need to learn quite a bit more than high-school algebra, but knowing this algebra is an important basis - you'll need it to study engineering.

In most places you will need to graduate High School and then graduate from a trade school or mechanic training program in order to be a certified mechanic. The requirements to graduate from High School will vary by your state and by district. Getting a college education is especially important if you plan to run your own shop because you will need business training as well as mechanic training. I would recommend graduating from high school and then asking at a local community college what kinds of business degrees and mechanic training programs they offer.
