Although they may be similar, they are not identical. An automotive technician maintains cars, while a mechanic repairs them.
A mechanic needs to be able and quick to use their manual dexterity. A mechanic should also be able accurately diagnose and repair problems.
An automotive technician needs to be more technically skilled than a mechanic. They need to be able use tools such drills and wrenches, and read blueprints.
They must be able and competent to safely perform complicated procedures. They must also be familiarized in different types and electrical systems.
They must also be able to understand how various parts interact with each other.

It's a great hobby to take on if you are passionate about cars. You can learn to fix them, buy them parts, and even sell them. This would be a wonderful hobby if you're looking to find something completely different.
