From someone who has held positions with both titles, in different industries, I would argue neither. Mechanics more so denotes generalists who yes, can/will be able to 'figure it out' and fix something, but might not be as efficient or even effective in a given maintenance area, repair type, or task set as someone who specializes in such. Whereas a technician implies more technical education, experience and specialization in a given area or task type who is more likely to perform the work according to [arguably, amongst highly qualified trade professionals and industry-wide standards] best practices. But of course others will disagree or use the terms differently, and many use them interchangeably.

Another analogy. All rappers are hip hop artists, but not all hip hop artists are rappers (some might simply produce beats, but not rap). Then within that set of rappers, arguably all of them are lyrical to some extent. Nonetheless, we could further differentiate a subset as bona fide "lyricists". You (or certainly, hip hop heads/avid rap music listeners or fans) wouldn't necessarily call any given rapper (analagous to a mechanic) a lyricist (technician) i.e., rap artist who is especially skilled in the element of lyricism. E.g., Tech N9ne or Eminem have proven themselves as rap lyricists (lyrical technicians). Whereas many others (such as certain stereotypically simplistic 'mumble rappers') aren't quite in that category with respect to demonstrated lyrical specialization or skill. Of course there are other elements like flow, delivery, cadence, story-telling, pure entertainment value, etc. Or we could use the example skill of raw (legitimately 'off the dome') freestyle ability - within that realm, Harry Mack has proven to be a freestyle technician. Doesn't mean most other rappers aren't freestyle mechanics i.e., up to that task whatsoever. But they might not be nearly as skilled or specialized in doing so. That is basically the semantic and denotational difference in my POV. 1 has to do with a broader, more generalist capacity that indicates ability in something or at least in a domain within which it resides (and indeed might imply a more multi-craft connotation), while the other has to do with especially honed technique in a particular task type or area. Professionally trained tire technicians are often better at tire maintenance and repair than any given run of the mill mechanic. Lube "techs" can often adopt better practices and habits than some mechanics who alternatively started up in certain full-service shops with a blind spot here or there (concerning tire and wheel service, maintenance and repair) by whoever happened to initially train them. Indeed this area of steering and suspension is often taken for granted as relatively less consequential grunt-work. Automotive mechanics might know more about multiple areas of automotive maintenance and repair than a given tire or tire and lube tech (or more about more vehicle makes than say a Honda tech or whatever other OEM autotomotive tech who is highly skilled but only with vehicles of a given manufacturer). But again, we are collectively on different pages (including employers even lol) with inconsistent usage of these 2 alternative terms and probably, it will remain that way unfortunately (or not, most people aren't so pedantic as I am)

Had the opposite experience once. I was at the gym and met some chick who attended a local college, i asked her what she did, she worked as a civil engineer downtown.

technician is the term when you have certifications and mechanic is just a mechanic in simple terms

The terms "mechanic" and "automotive technician" are often used interchangeably, but there are some subtle differences between the two. A mechanic is a skilled tradesperson who repairs and maintains machinery, including automobiles. They have a broad understanding of mechanical systems and are capable of diagnosing and fixing a variety of issues. Mechanics may specialize in a specific type of vehicle or work on a wide range of vehicles. On the other hand, an automotive technician is a professional who specializes in the repair and maintenance of automobiles. They have specific training and knowledge related to automotive systems, such as engines, transmissions, electrical systems, and computer diagnostics. Automotive technicians often work in authorized service centers or dealerships and may have certifications from manufacturers. In summary, while both mechanics and automotive technicians have similar skills and knowledge, automotive technicians typically have more specialized training in the field of automotive repair.

I’ve seen a few people that have a couple certifications but they still don’t know what they’re doing or understand how some things work. It’s easy to take a class in pick the right answers. But remembering it and using it out when you’re in the field working on a bunch of different style cars is what really matters. And the only way to get good at that is to just start working on cars and getting some seat time as a mechanic. What I did and recommend (at least for mechanically inclined people who already have a general understanding of cars) is to get into a shop and start working and doing different jobs and getting taught different things by the master technician or lead mechanic and do that for a year or more and then go and get your certifications so that you’re not just taking a class on things you have never seen or experienced before.

I am now one of the go to diagnostic techs in this area. A lot of those training classes and even ASE certifications are a joke. I quit renewing them all together. Just about anyone that has worked on cars for a few years with some common sense can walk in and pass the ASE certification tests. If you’re going to be good diagnosing cars these days you need to gain a strong understanding of electrical principles and learn to use an oscilloscope. Once I learned how to a scope and use pressure transducers to look at what’s going on inside the cylinder, the intake manifold, and the exhaust things really opened up for me. Just listening to someone talk about doesn’t cut it. You have to get in there and see these problems first hand and then you really start to understand what you’re seeing on the screen before that light bulb truly comes on.

@@homesteadhaven2010 I was more referring to the cuts and scrapes that guys (and girls) get. You sound like you got it down to a science, I respect that.

Mechanic can fix anything. Auto technician specializes in automobile repair. I'm a mechanic, shit sucks stay far away, women also don't like mechanics fun fact

I work on hvac systems that have 4 cylinder engines. So both?

Lol. Many years ago, the only thing that mattered was could you fix something properly. I've seen many a textbook technician who could not fix things. Had no practical experience. So many comebacks it was ridiculous. ASE does not mean you are qualified. Simply that you passed a test. I know relatives who cannot read , nor write. But can repair anything.
