The final of the European young auto mechanics competition will take place in Latvia for the first time this weekend. Fifteen European countries will participate, with their best young mechanics competing for the title. Representing Latvia is Andris Lagzdiņš, while last year's international competition winner Niks Pētersons will serve on the jury.

The competition aims to highlight the shortage of qualified auto mechanics in service centers and to elevate the prestige of the profession. Organizers hope that such events will popularize careers in the automotive industry and encourage young people to pursue this path.
