YOUNG CAR MECHANIC 2026

The national final of the Young Car Mechanic competition will take place on May 13–14, 2026, in the PVA EXPO Letňany exhibition center. This final stage of the international project will bring together the best students from vocational secondary schools specializing in automotive repair, who will compete in practical disciplines for the title of the best young car mechanic.

The Young Car Mechanic competition offers a unique opportunity for students to test their knowledge and skills in practice. This international project aims to support young talent, motivate further development, and connect education with the real world of the automotive industry.

The competition is divided into several stages. After the initial theoretical round at schools, participants advance to regional rounds, where they complete practical tasks focused on diagnostics, repairs, and vehicle maintenance. This is where their ability to apply knowledge in real-life situations is truly tested. The best competitors then advance to the national final.

The regional rounds have already taken place, including the event in Roudnice nad Labem, which was held on March 17–19, 2026.

The competition is organized by Inter Cars, a company that has long supported education in the automotive sector and actively contributes to the development of a new generation of professionals.

Young Car Mechanic is not just a competition, but also an important step on the path to professional growth for young technicians
