This may sound obvious, but the major skills revolve around mechanical aptitude. And as I have said many times and I tell my students, you're likely going to be good at what you enjoy, and you're likely to enjoy what you're good at. So if you have a desire to be an automotive mechanic, you're likely to be good at mechanical things. It's not a guarantee, mind you, but all the other mechanics I've known who are worth anything have pretty much been fascinated by machines and just absorbed knowledge about them. Now, you may start out clumsy or bad at some particular technique, but you've probably got a higher potential of improving than most other folks.
