What is the difference between a mechanical and an auto electrical repair shop?

Mechanical vs. electrical shop! Have you ever wondered what the difference is between these two automotive services? Let's clarify:

The difference between a mechanical and an auto electrical is mainly in the nature of the
services each offers:

  1. Mechanical workshop:
    • Services: Involves the diagnosis, maintenance and repair of mechanical components of the vehicle, such as engine, transmission, suspension, alignment and balancing, brakes, oil and filter changes.
    • Equipment: Uses specific mechanical tools and equipment, such as hand tools, car lifts, dynamometers, etc.
    • Professionals: Specialized mechanics in repairs and maintenance of mechanics and basic electronic systems.
  2. Auto Electric Workshop:
    • Services: Focuses on services related to the vehicle’s electrical and electronic system, such as
    the battery, repair of alternators and starter motors, ignition systems, wiring,
    sensors and electronic modules.
    • Equipment: Uses electronic diagnostic equipment and specialized tools for electrical and electronic systems.
    • Professionals: Automotive electricians or technicians specializing in electrical of vehicle.
    In summary, while a mechanical shop deals primarily with mechanical aspects of the
    vehicles, the auto electrical focuses on electrical and electronic aspects.

    In many cases, some modern workshops can offer both services, so, they have qualified professionals for both mechanical and electrical automotive.
