A car mechanic is not just a car repairman. He is a true professional who can hear the sound of metal and detect a malfunction in the sound of an engine. With his daily hard work, he ensures the safety of thousands of people on the road. A car is not just a means of transportation, it is a companion of a person, a time and labor saver. And making it reliable is in the hands of a car mechanic. Only a master who has mastered innovation and knows every detail can shoulder the burden of this profession. This year is a year when the status of working professions is increasing and appreciated. At such a time, it is our common duty to glorify the work of real hard workers like auto mechanics. Every success begins with a little bit of hard work. The owner of that work is a car mechanic. #WorkingProfessionsYear #ГодРабочихПофессий
