Diesel Mechanics typically work in repair shops, diagnosing and fixing mechanical problems on diesel-fueled vehicles and larger machines. They work with customers to understand the issue with their vehicle, determine what is needed to fix the car and develop a method for repairing it. Once they fix the vehicle, they perform preventive measures and techniques to keep the problem from reoccurring.
