The history of auto mechanics began in 1800s Europe with the creation of the first cars. These car makers can be considered the first auto mechanics. Because the early European automobiles were unique and not standardized, car owners faced the difficult task of finding people who could repair these custom machines; opening up a new level of pay and privilege for drivers and footmen willing to learn the trade.

And with standardized parts, the auto mechanic trade became large service industry
