Install, diagnose, or repair communications, sound, security, or navigation equipment in motor vehicles.

Confer with customers to determine the nature of malfunctions. Cut openings and drill holes for fixtures and equipment, using electric drills and routers. Inspect and test electrical or electronic systems to locate and diagnose malfunctions, using visual inspections and testing instruments such as oscilloscopes and voltmeters. Install equipment and accessories such as stereos, navigation equipment, communication equipment, and security systems. Diagnose or repair problems with electronic equipment, such as sound, navigation, communication, and security equipment, in motor vehicles. Replace and clean electrical or electronic components. Run new speaker and electrical cables. Splice wires with knives or cutting pliers, and solder connections to fixtures and equipment. Build fiberglass or wooden enclosures for sound components, and fit them to automobile dimensions. Estimate costs of repairs based on parts and labor charges. Record results of diagnostic tests. Remove seats, carpeting, and interiors of doors; add sound-absorbing material in empty spaces; and reinstall interior parts.
