How much do you charge for auto work?

@ldiablo233

Thats like telling someone who wants to get into an automotive job he needs prior experience. Its just like any other service you need to compare prices, not like I can go around saying 100 bucks an hour.

just give up

I hope you have a good dental plan because the owners of these cars are going to punch you in the mouth after they see your “work”

@jt76

Yes, it would be a good idea to know what the hell you are doing before you go looking for a job in such a field.

Prior experience meaning a job, its like all the craigslist posts for “landscaping”, I have yet to see one without prior work experience required, so how would you get the position if you need prior work experience.

Ya and ya know what I also ruined my nail polish last night installing a trans. But then again that would have required me to actually have installed the trans in the 2002 white dodge neon in the first place. And we all know that didn’t happen.

So if your talking about side work is it safe to assume that you are an actual mechanic? Ase/ factory and/or nysi certified? These types of things make a big difference.

I have worked on a few cars for friends / co-workers.
Always nice about it and don’t ask for $$.
Often this results in me getting nothing.

Uh schooling? being the shit head at a shop? yeah you have to go through all of that before you actually get experience, once you start showing them and learning from them then you advance and gain the experience? but this only comming from a toyota tech. . so who knows i could be wrong. seems like no matter how hard they argue, youl never change the view.

Not saying I know everything about cars, but general repair wise. Also when applying for easy stuff like lube tech, schooling shouldn’t matter as long as you have experience doing it whether it be at home or in school or at another job. Those type of jobs can get you into a higher up position but its easy to loose it to someone else who has prior experience or certifications.

ok…so a shop would hire you because on your resume it says you have prior exp.
than they would fire you when they find you spraypainting rotors for clients.
ive seen my brother get back surguery 12 times. does that count for prior exp?
