A growing shortage of skilled mechanics is hitting repair shops across New York, leaving car owners with long wait times and limited options for getting their vehicles back on the road. The shortage, which is being felt nationwide, is attributed to a combination of factors including a lack of young people entering the trade, an aging workforce, and a shortage of training programs. As a result, many repair shops are struggling to keep up with demand, leading to delays and increased costs for customers. With the average age of mechanics in the US nearing retirement age, the industry is bracing for a potential crisis if the shortage is not addressed.
