Multinational capitalism has given shape to a new postwar industrialized society. With the shift in emphasis from manufacturing, mechanical and construction industries to consumer and services industries, we saw correspondingly a change in the emphasis in the workforce from blue-collared to white-collared. The job market’s dependence is no longer on hard labour but instead on technical excellence and professionalism. In other words, the production and service work force will be led by the intellectual elite.
In the traditional car repair industry, a new technician will start by learning the skills set from a skilful master. He learnt through the repeated hands-on experience of dismantling and assembling car parts and from which will become familiarized in the structure of the car. Nevertheless such valuable car repair expertise will never come with a professional cerification of any sort. As the society progresses and the economy grows, the expectation and demand on the car repair industry correspondingly increased and it led to the establishment of schools which systematically produces car repair professional. The Taiwanese government is also planning to pass a legislation requiring car repair technicians to have the necessary qualifications. The affected industry players are now awaiting the outcome of the passing of such a legislation.
In the recent years, competition in the car repair industry has intensified with the mushrooming of car repair workshops. While the practice of passing on knowledge through an apprenticeship system by traditional workshops is still deeply entrenched in the Taiwanese society, these workshop owners cannot ignore the possibility of the abovementioned new legislation. The graduates from the automobile colleges, with the advantage of a paper qualification are in a position to demand for higher salaries and this will inevitably add on to the costs of the car repair workshops.
Overtime as the standard of living improves, people are less willing to spend time and money on car repair, and instead prefer to buy a new car or replace a damaged car part with a new one. Henceforth the car repair industry is faced with a new problem whereby highly sophisticated skills required for more complicated and intricate repair jobs has become less and less in demand. The car repair industry is now a sunset industry.
跨國資本主義在戰後所引發的新工業社會，也就是新的消費與服務業興起後，從傳統黑手和勞工階級的比較粗造的技術階級轉變為白領，不依照勞力，純粹以技術和專業取勝，也就是所謂的知識菁英來領導生產與服務。
在傳統的修車產業，技師靠著拜師學藝，不斷的重修車中學習經驗和巧技巧，並無真正知識上面的專業素養，在拆解組裝來真正瞭解車子的結構，經由一步步的修車經驗，讓自己更能處理所有車子上的問提，隨著時代的變遷，經濟發展正邁向高峰時，官方和民間對於修車技工開始有更高的要求，因此汽車學院應運而生，有系統培訓修車廠技術人員，我國政府規劃，技工需有文憑，但目前法律尚未有定案，不少業者和共計靜觀其變。
近幾年，市場上修車廠如雨后春筍，常見一條街道有三四間車廠，越來越多人投入這個行業造成競爭激烈，技工需有文憑的消息則進一步加劇情況，業者眉頭更加深鎖，在我國，傳統修車技能沒有白紙黑字的技術證明，以傳承方式教授技術，卻也深得認同。文憑只是一張紙，汽車學院畢業的學生，憑著這一紙優勢，把它攤開在修車廠老闆面前，就有條件要求較高薪金，但從另一個角度來看，這也等同增加業者的營運成本。
隨著生活水準的提高，多數人不會花時間在維修成本上，而是直接換新，因此技術上也變得簡單許多，但修車產業也面臨了臨一向沖擊，複雜的維修技術已不再需要，進到原廠直接替換新的零件，修車場也逐漸沒落，所有不可使用的零件，直接進到汽車廢鐵廠回收廢車場。
