One requirement is that you have to beable to speak japanese fluently. IF you dont they will deni you residency.. Guidelines for Permission for Permanent Residence Legal requirements (1) The person is of good conduct.

There is no possibility that the person could do harm from the viewpoint of protection of public health. ※ The requirements (1) and (2) above do not apply to spouses and children of Japanese nationals, special permanent residents or permanent residents, and requirement (2) does not apply for those who have been recognized as refugees Special requirements for 10-year residence in principle (1) The person is a spouse of a Japanese national, special permanent resident or permanent resident, and has been in a real marital relationship for more than 3 years consecutively and has stayed in Japan more than 1 year consecutively.

To get a work visa for Japan you need at minimum a Bachelor's degree from a real 4-year university, no matter what job you are applying for. You also need to be hired by a Japanese employer BEFORE you move to Japan, since they sponsor your visa. There is no shortage of auto mechanics in Japan, and thus no reason for a Japanese employer to choose you over the many Japanese applicants for the same job. Hiring a foreigner is very expensive and risky, so they only do it when absolutely necessary. Japan is not like the US where any illegal immigrant can easily find work. They are EXTREMELY strict about visas and employees. Sorry, but I think your only chance is to join the military (if you are American) as a mechanic and hope to be transferred to Japan, or marry a Japanese who is willing to move back to Japan with you.

I agree with jettoblack. There is no reason for Japanese employers to hire you. But I believe you still want to know how to be a car mechanic in Japan. I'll tell you. You need car mechanic license （自動車整備士） to work as a car mechanic in Japan. The license has level 1, 2 and 3. 1 is the most advanced. http://www.mlit.go.jp/kokkasiken/seibi/seibi_.html The above government site has information on the license. To take this exam, you need to graduate from junior high school and have at least 1 year experience in working in a car industry IN JAPAN. So you can't take it. But HONDA has a school for car mechanic. And they accept foreigners. If you really want to become car mechanic, you try it. https://www.hondacollege.ac.jp/honda_e/nyugaku/nyugaku6.html
