any way to work in japan as a mechanic?

[wodstlk]

I want to move to Japan and work there but I have been a automotive mechanic for about 10 years so that is all I know. does anyone work in the auto repair field in Japan who is from America. if so, could you give me some information about the steps taken to move your tools, get a work visa, how much Japanese you need to know to find a job. really, any information would be greatly appreciated. if it is too difficult to be an auto mechanic in Japan, how hard is it to be an English teacher. how many years of college do I need.

thank you

You'd have to learn japanese. Just learn the parts, some repair terms,
like timing adjustment, brake job, compression test, and so on.

Many of the car parts are written in katakana which is very simple to learn.

I'd say if you are good, you can most likely find a job as an automotive technician in Japan.
