The history of automotive repair and maintenance began in the 1800s with the creation of the first cars. The early-days automotive mechanics were makers of cars, automobile owners, and drivers who had specialised knowledge in maintaining cars.
The advent of automotive manufacturing, the rise of the cosmopolis, and the boom in technology helped to shape the automotive repair and maintenance industry into what it is today and heralded new levels of fusion.
Here, in this edition, KARREP intends to drive our readers down memory lane by looking at the historical background of the automotive repair and maintenance industry from its evolution to the current tech-oriented world and potential turning points in the future.
