It really depends on what sort of work is being done on the car. If you go to a mechanic for a major engine, AC, or other issue, it can void the warranty, but as theMagnuson-Moss Warranty Act says, the warranty can only be voided on that specific part. Also, minor work such as oil changes, belts, and smaller jobs like that are fine to have done elsewhere.
Tools would be a good start. And a couple of Haynes manuals.
Most mechanic shops offer a 1 year 20k warranty on work done. As for a blown head gasket,if something else caused it (low antifreeze causing over heating)your mechanic shop will probably not give you warranty.
no never! it will only cost you even more money that a regualr mechanic shop unless it is under warranty or you do the work yourself
I have two Hyundai's and they came with a limited lifetime warranty. I would take them to the dealer for any work. If the car does not have a warranty any longer, a realiable garage that you trust is the best place, assuming you can not or do not wish to do the work yourself. Personally, if not warranty, I do all maintenance myself. This requires the correct tools, but ensures the job is done correctly and as inexpensively as possible.
Only if you pay for the warranty.....
Yes, they order tools from blacksmiths, and the blacksmiths make any tool they need. ~edit~ Depending on the shop they work for most Auto Mechanics will be required to have their own hand tools, most often bought from mobile tool dealers such as Cornwell Tools, Mac Tools, Snap On and Matco.
Yes,he sure can,he would become a master mechanic and save on labor cost.
Anything metric, socket set, 1/4-1/2 in drive. combination wrenches, Allen keys, depending on the work that needs to be done theres alot of specialty tools out there.
The work environment for a mechanic typically involves a combination of indoor and outdoor settings, primarily in garages, repair shops, or automotive dealerships. Mechanics often work with various tools and equipment, exposed to noise, grease, and chemicals. The job usually requires physical stamina, as mechanics may need to lift heavy parts and work in awkward positions. Safety precautions, such as wearing protective gear, are crucial due to the hazards associated with the tools and materials used.

ASE is the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence. An ASE certified Mechanic has been instructed and tested on how to perform maintenance on a vehicle. There are different areas of specialization for ASE certifications for different systems on a car. ASE certified mechanics aren't necessarily better mechanics but they take the job seriously to get certified and if you have a choice you should choose a mechanic with an ASE Certification. The person asked what is an ase MASTER mechanic? This specifically means the mechanic has passed all or nearly all certifications (tests) available in a test series (ie: auto, med truck, collision, etc ...) and the mechanic must also document at least two years of hands-on work experience. For example in the auto series there are 8 tests (A1 through A8) required before you are considered a master mechanic.
