These were three days full of passion, commitment and hard work. The emotions that accompanied the struggles were contagious to everyone, but we like it! The young mechanics proved that during the finals, true Champions met!
The 2025 Mechanics Championship Finals are behind us, and their level - both organizational and substantive - has proven that we have young specialists in Poland ready for the challenges of modern automotive industry. The participants did not disappoint - they showed not only knowledge and skills, but also a huge heart for teamwork and the spirit of healthy competition.
This year we have prepared two completely new competitions to check how much knowledge they have. The first one was the replacement of brake pads in a truck caliper, created together with the Textar brand . A task that required precision, as well as knowledge of the specifics of trucks. Participants had to demonstrate not only manual dexterity, but also excellent reading of instructions and technology used in heavy transport.
The second novelty was a much more unusual competition – recognizing truck parts solely by touch. Their task was to identify components without using sight. This required great intuition, experience and excellent knowledge of the shapes and textures of mechanical parts.
Initially, the new competitions were met with uncertainty – “Guess from the Paw” in particular surprised many participants. However, it quickly turned out that the young mechanics were well-prepared and could also cope with unusual challenges.
The 2025 Mechanics Championship Finals took place in a dynamic, emotional atmosphere. For three days, young enthusiasts of automotive technology competed in various competitions that required precision, knowledge, reflexes and teamwork.
The finals were mainly qualifiers for automotive and mechanical schools from all over Poland, represented by the best students, although there were also representatives of completely different types of institutions. At our stand, we tested students who competed in four categories:
Young Mechanic
Young Agricultural Machinery Mechanic
Professional Mechanic
Young Truck Mechanic
And it was the latter, for obvious reasons, that was the most important for us - after all, trucks are what we love. The winners were Krystian Koperczak and Rafał Nowak. Representatives of the Communication Technical School No. 25 in Krakow proved that the truck industry is their domain. Congratulations!
The full list of winners in all categories can be found here: Winners
During the event, participants and guests could take part in a free training on air conditioning systems, led by an expert from Behr Mahle , who shared his knowledge on diagnostics and servicing of modern A/C systems. The second part of the training was led by Karol Filarski, a specialist in workshop equipment, presenting the latest technological solutions supporting the work of mechanics.
There were also meetings with true enthusiasts and masters of the steering wheel. In the Autos zone, the winners of the European Cup in cross-country rallies – Kamena Rally Team, were present , who were happy to talk to the young participants and share their experience from rally routes.
There was also great interest in the truck available for viewing , which allowed visitors to take a look inside the commercial vehicle.
The 14th edition confirmed that the Mechanics Championships are not only a competition, but also an important platform for development and integration for young people involved in the automotive industry . Participants showed a high level of knowledge, creativity and readiness to face challenges in both passenger cars, trucks and agricultural vehicles.
The organizers are already announcing that the next editions will bring new competitions, even more practical knowledge and additional attractions. One thing is certain - in the world of young mechanics, the future has the engine, precision and passion.
