The Auto Mechanics industry has grown steadily over the five years to 2015. Individuals and businesses have increased demand for industry services, as rising per capita disposable income and corporate profit encourages consumers to opt for auto mechanic services over do-it-yourself repair. In the coming years, disposable income levels are expected to continue to grow, encouraging some consumers to spend more on the maintenance and repair of their vehicles. However, as consumers become more comfortable financially, an increasing numbers of car owners are expected to scrap older vehicles in need of expensive repairs, and instead opting to buy new replacement vehicles.
The Auto Mechanics industry provides mechanical and electrical repair and maintenance work for cars, trucks, vans and trailers. Operators include self-employed mechanics, auto repair shops, garages and car care centers. This industry does not include car dealerships, auto parts retailers or gas stations that provide industry services. Industry services do not include auto bodywork, car washes, oil changes or air conditioning repair (IBISWorld reports 81112, 81119a and 81119b).
