Sheila’s Answer

Hi Jyorikka:

According to my research, the median annual wage for automotive service technicians and mechanics was $44,050 in May 2020. The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less. The lowest 10% percent earned less than $25,790, and the highest 10% percent earned more than $71,940 according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Many experienced technicians working for automobile dealers and independent repair shops receive a commission related to the labor cost charged to the customer. Under this system, which is commonly known as “flat rate” or “flag rate,” weekly earnings depend on the amount of work completed. Some repair shops pay technicians on an hourly basis instead.

I hop this was helpful. Best of luck to you!

Liam’s Answer

It is great that you are working toward a career as an automotive mechanic. One career choice to consider is manufacturing. A local manufacturer would benefit from your knowledge and you can expand your career in repairing machines. Don’t limit yourself to automobiles where competition is high and salaries may be capped. A local manufacturer can offer competitive pay and a stable career indoors.

Liam recommends the following next steps:

Review local automotive mechanic salaries
Review local machine mechanic salaries at a manufacturer
Learn both Mechanical and Electrical systems. Your future depends on both.

The average salary for a mechanic is $20.60 per hour in the United States and $6,750 overtime per year. And if you are good in Electronics than it would go up to $70 per hour.
