Diesel mechanics repair and maintain cars, trucks, and buses powered by diesel engines, which are different from the standard gasoline-powered engine. Preparation for a career as a diesel mechanic usually includes completion of a formal training program at an accredited college or technical school, as well as optional certification by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence, which may improve a prospective mechanic's chances for employment. The median hourly wage for diesel mechanics in 2006 was $18.11. Jobs in this field are expected to increase by 11 percent by 2016.
