How to answer: Even if you aren't a trained mechanic, any automotive knowledge you may have will give you an advantage over the other applicants. Changing tyres, oil and other fluids, as well as any other general motor maintenance skills, are all worth mentioning. Make sure you include less mechanical, daily tasks such as filling petrol tanks, car washes and detail work. Anything outside of the realm of basic responsibilities speaks highly of an applicant's work ethic.
