Abstract

This paper narrates the life of auto mechanics which have been unnoticed for a long time as evidenced by the lack of literature that can be found. Using an Auto-Ethnobiography method of qualitative research, the author shows the life and experiences of auto mechanics in the Philippines, both in the casa and talyer set-up. By providing these experiences and life of the subjects, a glimpse of the hardships and difficulties can be seen with an integration of the experiences of the author, who is also part of the industry.
