  Learn to Earn: The Road to a Real Automobile Career Let’s be honest — cars don’t run on fuel alone. They run on skills, curiosity, and passion . If you’ve ever popped a car’s hood just to “see what’s inside,” congratulations — you already have the spark most people miss. The New-Age Garage: More Tech Than Grease Forget the old image of mechanics with oily hands and rusty tools. Today’s automobile world runs on technology — from electric vehicles to AI-based diagnostics. The new-age garage looks more like a mini tech lab. You’ll find laptops, scanners, coding software, and smart sensors. That’s why the real heroes of this generation are skilled learners — the ones who can handle both a wrench and a computer.

Michelin has been quietly cooking something big in Chennai, and guess what? The lid just lifted. After years of making tyres for trucks, buses, and heavy vehicles, their Chennai plant is now pumping out premium passenger car tyres — the kind you see fitted on souped-up SUVs, luxury sedans, and those cars that make heads turn.

  Ah, it’s that magical time of the year again — the Indian festive season, when car showrooms light up like Diwali decorations and everyone suddenly feels the itch to “upgrade” their ride. Maruti, Hyundai, Tata — all are rolling out discounts like they’re Santa Claus in October. Compact SUVs are flying off the shelves faster than the new iPhone on launch day. Walk into any dealership and you’ll see families taking selfies next to shiny new cars, with salesmen grinning wider than their bumper offers. But here’s the catch — not everything that glitters in the showroom is gold in the balance sheet. Yes, footfall is up. Bookings are healthy. But margins? Ouch.
