Pays to own the shop…. Pays like shit to work for who owns the shop. Whopper floppers are not all that far behind any auto trades out West in hourly wage. Hmm, kinda weird projection, our techs (again all under 35) make 80k+ a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pension? 401 match? Health, dental and vision? 80k gross as a good wage so 20 years ago. It’s not all that great today.

Yes to all of the above plus a monthly tool allowance and clothing, free use of the shop after hours and weekends for side jobs, parts at cost. What were you making at 25 years old?

Platinum Contributing Member Blackstar Posted November 19, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted November 19, 2022 80k gross seems high, at least for around here. I had a mechanic come work for me 3-4 years ago. Said he was making $28/hr. Google search says average wage in Ontario is $29-31/hr. I would think a mature mechanic with some customer skills would be making $35-40/hr tops. Shop rates are $95/hr. Can't see how they could give half of that to the employee. I hear diesel mechanics make more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flat rate with bonus incentives/commission and increases in hourly pay as I bill out jobs., base salary is $33/hr, which never happens. One tech had a real good week, billed out 58 hours of work @ $63/hr but was only there for 32 hours.. He had Monday off. what's an entry level 20ish year old "whopper flipper" making in your neck of the woods as you compared an auto tech to that. Here it's $15.75/hr as advertised on BK's signs..
