Average growth

The number of vehicles in use is expected to continue rising over the projections decade, and some service technicians will be needed to maintain and repair them. Many owners are keeping their vehicles longer, which should support demand for these workers to provide the servicing that older vehicles often require.
However, the increasing prevalence of electric vehicles, which require less maintenance and repair, may limit future demand for these workers.
