Why Orlando is a great place to start.

Orlando has a unique auto technician market shaped by its tourism industry. The massive rental car fleets at Orlando International Airport create high-volume fleet maintenance work that employs hundreds of technicians. Beyond rental cars, Orlando's rapidly growing residential population creates the same baseline auto service demand found in any large metro.

The proximity to theme park infrastructure also creates opportunities for technicians interested in specialty vehicle maintenance including trams, electric vehicles, and specialized transport equipment.
