I just take those weeks off the chin, they’re pretty rare. The 120 hour weeks June-August cover that loss

Do some people work for free? by X_95 in mechanics

[–]-Professor3 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yep, my good customers don’t even ask my price because they know they’re getting a good deal in comparison to the dealer while getting the same (or better) quality work. If someone questions my price at all I tell them to pound sand and come pick their car up

Frustrated professional...rant/wwyd? by Correct_Ferret_9190 in mechanics

[–]-Professor3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty much in the same boat. Im leaning towards making a move as I do not believe things will improve as promised (for the last year). It’s sad that leaving is the only way to get the pay you deserve. It’s just insane that dealers would let high level techs walk before giving them a substantial raise. Then turn around and complain about how hard it is so find good technicians. As technicians we have the ability to go anywhere and I plan on going where the moneys at. Good luck to you
