An overwhelming majority of automotive detailing technicians and mechanics work for automobile dealers or in the automotive repair and maintenance industry. This is a growing industry and is especially important in our modern car-driven society.

After earning a high school or college degree or its equivalent, prospective detailing job seekers should seek additional training to make themselves more marketable to employers. Many employers prefer to hire a service tech who has completed a training program at a vocational school or post-secondary learning institution.
