Mechanics are flat rate at most shops. so you could work forty hours and bring home 20 hrs.Very rare do people who take cars as a hobby are able to do it as a career. ok but its not a mechanic, its a technician. a mechanic changes tires and does oil changes, i tech fixes specialized problems. your thinking of a mechanic shop, im speaking dealer terms. we are guaranteed work as long as they sell cars and have established customers. working for a dealership and a hole in the wall auto repair shop are 2 completely different things. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/automotive-technicians-step-in/45364)._
