I’ve been a mechanic since I was 16. Usually mechanics work with different types of cars, but I work especially with Mercedes, because they are more complicated. They’re strong and good for our mountainous streets. Even though I didn’t go to university, I can fix any problem and understand the computers in the newer cars––even types I haven’t worked with before, because I follow the technology closely. Though Mercedes is German and we are Palestinian, we can fix anything.
