What does the Mechanic get
Hi all,
I've recently been wondering, I've taken my jeep to a business where they charge 75.00 per hour for the mechanic's labor. I'm curious what take does the mechanic get from that charge? I guess the business owner probably has to pay various things to have the mechanic work there so I'm sure he's not getting the full 75.00. Anyone who's a mechanic or anyone who knows please feel free to respond. thanks, Bill |

The costs of compliance with epa, osha, bar , very high insurance and workers comp rates, defective parts, etc., adds up and most techs get less than they used to, but are still expected to have 20-50K tied up in tools and specailty tools that become obsolete with every design change. A certified Master Auto Tech with 25 years experience still makes less than a San Francisco Garbageman. -- Paul Calman, Hathaway Pines, California |

Re: What does the Mechanic get
a typical dealership mechanic averages around $15-$17 an hour. the
dealership has to pay for all the shop expenses including insurance and match the mechanics ss deductions but its still a rip to charge $75 an hour. they do it because they can. -- Nathan W. Collier http://7SlotGrille.com http://UtilityOffRoad.com |
