Auto mechanics in Canada have been providing widely accepted and increasingly diverse automotive repair services to individual and business customers. Revenue growth is determined by demand from consumers, businesses and government agencies, most of which have increasingly sought out industry services due to rising total vehicle-kilometres and motor vehicle registrations. But industry revenue declined at a CAGR of 0.2% to $11.5 billion through the end of 2023, including a 4.5% increase in 2023, when profit reached 7.8%. This increase in 2023 can be mainly attributed to improving economic conditions after the pandemic. As more people get back on the road, demand for mechanics will increase. Throughout 2023, the average age of automobiles in Canada is expected to increase slightly. Older vehicles require more frequent repairs, supporting industry growth. Operators in the Auto Mechanics industry in Canada perform mechanical and electrical repairs and maintenance for automotive vehicles, including passenger cars, trucks, vans and trailers. Auto mechanics often work independently or for small auto repair shops, garages and car care centres.
