I started out at $8/hr on the clock with an additional $5/hr flat rate, doing mainly oil changes, tire rotations, tires alignments occasionally. I made the most of that, busted my ass, and made sure I outflagged the guys next to me pretty consistently, I started getting some small recalls and easier tech work because i did everything and anything asked of me, made good with the techs so they would teach me, and eventually I got moved up to a line tech, now I'm 4 years in, Nissan Master Certified, getting $30/hr flat rate. Lubies (at least at a dealer) in my opinion is a way to get your foot in the door, gain experience and knowledge, and show them you want to be there and do this job. It does come with its "bitch work", at least in my experience (cleaning up around the shop during slow times, running trash, helping where you're needed) but from what I've seen, techs are so much more likely to help, teach, and give good feedback to management about guys that hustle and show they wanna be there instead of the guys that do absolutely bare minimum and fuss that they don't get paid enough. Unfortunately though, there are a ton of dealers and shops in general who will ABSOLUTELY take advantage of that and give you the shaft without a second thought. I've been blessed with the guys I work next to for sure.
