    Most auto shops cannot hire a 15 year old do to the laws, as well as the insurance requirements. How ever in our shop we do have a 16 year old who does the clean up as well as "light maintenance". I can tell you that this kid is a motivated individual. Because of that we do let him work on some of the vehicles. He doesn’t do a lot but he is learning. To answer your question. It is a possibility that you could at least get your foot in the door. Ask and don’t take no for an answer. It could happen. Good luck and hope it works out for you.
