In the province of Latacunga, 60% say that maintenance is performed frequently, as in Ambato. In the province of Latacunga, 40 % have profit expectations with new technologies of 1,000 to 5,000 euros, and in Ambato, 50 % have expectations of more than 10,000 euros. It is also shown that 100 % of the workshops in both provinces have invested in new technologies.Conclusions: in both cities, there is a wide variety of adoption of new technologies, each of which can be adapted to the needs of each region with respect to the amount of knowledge that is possessed, since there may be other factors that influence it.
