Latvia is hosting the European Young Auto Mechanics Final for the first time this weekend. The competition brings together the best young auto mechanics from 15 European countries, who will vie for the title of Europe's best young auto mechanic. Among the participants is Latvian Andris Lagzdiņš. Last year's international competition winner, Niks Pētersons, will serve on the jury.

The aim of the contest is to highlight the shortage of qualified auto mechanics in workshops and to raise the prestige of the profession. The event taking place in Latvia demonstrates the country's capability to organize international professional competitions. Such contests help popularize the auto mechanic specialty among young people and foster interest in the field.
