[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is your mechanic part of a garage or does she own it?

110 an hour pays for the mechanic (probably 18 an hour. Up to 25/30 depending on experience and models worked on), rent, warranty, tools like lifts and air compressors, shop supplies, consumables, etc, etc.

Then the mechanic’s personal expenses. Tools (probably 50k worth), education, certifications, etc.

Yes. You can make a decent living. But the mechanic is not making 110 an hour. Nope. [/quote]

If a mechanic is working in a shop he/she probably gets half or $55 per hour ($110k per year).  But if he self employed he can earn much more than that. [/quote]

Maybe the master at the Porsche/Mercedes/Ferrari/Lamborghini shop, but no way a ASE guy at a shop or dealer.  No chance. [/quote]

The $110 rate is posted at my regular old mechanic shop in a corner gas station - not a dealership for foreign car shop.[/quote]

And that guys is not making 55 an hour guaranteed. Maybe 20. [/quote]

You are mistaken.[/quote]

Ok. Do your local shop charges 110 pays the wrench 55 and has 55 dollars leftover to pay rent, expenses, payroll taxes, etc. and afterwards the shop makes 28 cents an hour off repair work. Sure. [/quote]
