Its main aim is motivation of young generation to want more.

As Aristotle used to say: The root of education is bitter, but fruits are sweet. This can be confirmed by anyone, who has taken part in the Young Car Mechanic at least once. The participants of the contest, but also teachers preparing them, have a lot of hard work in the coming months.
Competition process:
The first stage of the contest are local country eliminations. This year they are organized in Bulgaria, Estonia, Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, Ukraine and in Poland. The users scoring atleast 60% in this stage shall be promoted to semi-finals.Semi-finals mean a theoretical test, checking the knowledge of contestants from the automotive mechanics.Country finals, i.e. the third stage f the contest, accept contestants who in their countries gain the biggest number of points and solve tests the fastest. Group from country finals in 8 countries will have a chance to perform practical tasks and the best of them will meet in international finale. Here the contestants will also have to prove their practical skills in servicing vehicles and repairing them.
