Comment from : Couldnt think of a good name so I guess this is it

Depends on what state you live in and how many hours you can work in a day in NY working for a high end dealership yes easily or if you like to work 100 hours a week
Comment from : Craig Chiddo

I make 150K per year as a tech because I have a 3/8 cordless ratchet taped to each finger on my right hand and a set of metric sockets taped to my forearm brI wear my scanner, like a camel-back, and read the codes through google glasses--speeds things up
Comment from : Justin

It's very possible, I'm a Mercedes Benz tech in MN I average 68 hours a week flat rate at $3560 I'll make $120k this year and my average clock time for a week is 45 hours per week I'm not specialized, I do any job given to me I understand that's not the norm but if you work hard it's very possible I've cleared 100k the last 3 years and I'm 27, been a tech for 8 years now Not making 100k yet as a tech? Work harder! That's a good first step

2018 I made 42,000 I work in central California at a private shop I work 40 hours a week We have a sliding pay scale Basically a productivity bonus On average I have been pulling in about 37 Last year was a good year Majority of my work is diagnostic and typically Cummins, power stroke or Duramax Head gaskets on anything that has direct injection dual overhead cam’s But honestly most of the money is in diagnostic and electrical for me

I’m at 27 an hour and consistently make 80 hours a week, dealership in a mid sized city
Comment from : Mike Jens

Forklifts, heavy equipment Always more money And a field tech is the shit
Comment from : matthew placencia

Yes, it's depend on where you work Some shop even take away some of the hours if you are on a flat rate So you are spot on Justin Race car mechanic like F1 racing team I know a that average out at $58 an hour but some days he turned no hours so he either go home or hanging at the shop and cleaning his tool

Darigold food processing plant “maintenance mechanic” start out at 76 grand a year, so with all the overtime if you’re a workaholic you could get close Time with family is way more important!
Comment from : GreeneAlien

Must be different `depending on where you live In Ma the collision industry is ruled by the ins co They create end runs to circumvent the laws in order to control the industry The pay rates range from 36-42 per hour labor and out of that a tech gets his pay plus the business has to pat their overhead The insco sways the customer to go to a referral/program shop by offering a lifetime warranty The shop has to sign a contract to repair the vehicle with a set labor rate The customer may choose another shop but the ins co will only pay the contract rate and not negotiate with the shop They simply state the listed program shop has set a rate and take it or leave it

Made six figures last year, UPS fleet mechanic
Comment from : Pete Graham

Yup diesel in the oil and gas industry or mining field National average in oil and gas is like 102 and for underground mining is like 118k Now your going to work hard long hours Out of school I went to work for a truck shop for a refining/pipeline company Started at right around 32 and some change and worked 120 plus hours every 2 weeks Still work there and make considerably more a hour now Great benefits somewhere between 10 and 20k in various bonuses every year Can you do it putting time belts on hondas and changing oil? No I'm guessing
Comment from : trent miley

On an 8 hour day thats roughly $50/hr
Comment from : hey you

I don't work on automotive, but if I did body/collision looks fascinating My second pick would be transmission/suspension General repair/one-owner shop pays the least in every industry, in my experience
Comment from : Uncle Bob

Comment from : Alamo City Tech

"Can a mechanic make 100k a year?"brbrYes, absolutely It simply depends on what you mechanic on
Comment from : devon cameron

Yes you can my shop foreman almost make 200,000 at Chevy
Comment from : 1500

The best pay I've seen was a classified job ad for an experienced diesel mechanic paying $35/hour That was a legit hourly wage and wasn't flat rate and didn't depend on customers bringing work to your shop or any sort of commission It was fleet work for a big company and included good benefits If you add the benefits I bet it was close to 100k a year

Comment from : Jim Feaster

Bro so true i work in a shop in costa mesa, we are in a established independent shop when starting starting off 4 years ago i was making 30k but now its 60k sticking with them every year we are making more and more but we do EVERYTHING and are a small shop of 4 guys that are just talented Super rare not being a normal shop we work on everything from the 1910s to modern super cars makes us stay on our toes crying and learning what we have to learn to stay up to date to stay relevant 🤘🤘🤘

Double minimum is a mandatory minimum hourly wage for requiring mechanics to provide tooling , for work performed using those tools, in California It does not matter if the employer is a dealership, independent shop, private fleet, etc It applies to all employers
Comment from : Ford Truck Guy

Here’s another scenario that needs looking at, and that is salary in general Let’s say you end up making 50-60k, after some time in the trade, individually you are in the to 10 of wage earners in the USA, that’s a statistic Justin mentioned something important that is demographic where do you live? Example I grew up in Washington state in my trade busting out 40K is about average it’s harder to make a living there, but I live in New York State, yes some costs are higher however I can double that income of 40K and I do A person must look at several factors in any profession do diligent research understand money and how to achieve financial success and most importantly learn money management There’s no greater wealth builder than your income Just sayin’
Comment from : Powder River

I make a little over a 100k as an Industrial mechanic at a large chemical company
Comment from : Pyro People

Great video and a subject that no one likes to talk aboutmoney Yes a mechanic can make over $100K, but it depends on where do you live and how good are you I was in the industry and going to jr college In college I found out that accounting came easy and I left the industry at the age of 25 Two years later at Loyola University and the rest is history I wanted to own my own shop so I needed the education on how to manage a business Cheers Justin
Comment from : Jimmy The Lumberjack

Damn, well there goes that I make $35/hr now at my current job ( not a tech ) Thought about a career change But this video just fixed that
Comment from : Irish Man

Made 110k a year at 23 as a production manager in a body shop In Cali
Comment from : RichhhGsxr209

Nice break down Justin I think it definitely depends on the area you live and the drive you have to get work done fast and efficient We all know it is very possible to make 6 figures a year as a mechanic Even at the slower shops I've worked at like Midas and Meineke I was taking home over 50k to 60k and that's when I was only in the field for 5 or 10 years I made the decision to get my own shop because i didn't want to line my bosses pockets with cash for my hard work I wish Richv the best and I hope something better comes his way But sometimes you have to take that risk like I did
Comment from : JRC54

Well yes and No brdepends honestly but not likely

Comment from : Andrew Robinson

100k come with a lot of stress
Comment from : Gena wilcox

Diesel technicians can You just have to look in areas that most people don't Rental Equipment mechanics, Locomotive mechanics, construction equipment mechanics, marine diesel, portable/stationary generator mechanics all can make 100k+ If you work in a saturated market you can't expect to make a lot of money
Comment from : Joe Rogaine

Comment from : Ryan R89

35 an hour flagging with 120 hours gets you there but he’s right it has to be a busy shop if it’s slow or independent
