So, what do auto technicians in Virginia Beach do? When you join the Firestone Complete Auto Care team as an advanced mechanic, working on cars will take up most of your day, from performing repairs and test drives to educating non-mechanical clients on mechanical repairs.

Advanced mechanics in Virginia Beach have a number of responsibilities including troubleshooting and repairing cars to manufacturer guidelines by taking care of things like transmission repairs and alignments, as well as brake checks and A/C recharges.
