stereotypically, engineers design cars- they don't fix them. Someone who fixes cars is called a mechanic.

Of course, modern bouts of sprucing up job title names (my favorite is 'sanitation engineer') means that mechanics can throw stones at me and demand I take that back. I liked the real names better. It's easier to tell people I worked as a bag boy than a 'courtesy clerk'.

Unfortunately it depends where you live. In Australia they're the ones who fix cars.

Does the US have a requirement that engineers are engineers (qualified engineers that is) ala claiming one is an attorney?
