Kevin Borg's book, Auto Mechanics: Technology and Expertise in Twentieth-Century America, examines the history of auto mechanics in the United States, focusing on how the social and technical development of the automobile shaped the profession. Borg argues that the occupation of auto mechanic has always been contested, from the early days of the chauffeur-mechanic to the rise of diagnostic technology and the increasing importance of computers in car repair. He explores the influence of factors like gender, class, race, and education on the development of auto mechanics, and how these social structures impacted the role of the mechanic in the evolving relationship between the automobile and society.
