POCATELLO — The EastIdahoNews.com team is highlighting different jobs in our area and every Monday for the next several weeks, we’ll be workin’ it in a variety of professions.

Like most people, I’ve had to drive cars all my life to get around but I don’t know a thing about them.

I decided to try and change that and learn a thing or two. The team at Master AutoTech agreed to bring me on board for the day so that I could do just that.

Most people underestimate the amount of practice and studying it takes to be a successful mechanic. As cars are always adapting to new technology, mechanics have to do the same.

They taught me about how they keep track of their orders, how to change a tire and what’s under the hood of a vehicle.
