Depends on if your an employee or independent contractor.

Schedule C if your independent...this is essentially an important 9and beneficial) form where you make a profit & loss statement for your business (that is, you business of being a mechanic...getting to expense the amounts you spent to make the income your reporting). If your an employee, you should use Line 20 of Schedule A. However, expenses here are subject to the 2% floor...that is they must exceed 2% of your adjusted gross income, which is shown on line 38 of the Form 1040. Realistically, if you use any of the tax prep softwares...well worth the $20 or so they cost, it will ask you the questions and do it all, even suggest the best way, for you.
