>auto repair garage charges $150/hr
>auto mechanic makes $20/hr

This is why the economy is broken. "Overhead" is costing way too much and the money isn't making it to the people actually doing the work.

>>520576486 (OP)
no mechanics make $20 per hour other than the squatemalans at jiffy lube. real certified mechanics pull down $75k - $100k depending on the dealer and area.

>>520576661
That's still only like 30-35 an hour.

>>520576661
100K is $50/hour, add in benefits and healthcare and you can more than double that. Shop probably takes $25-35 hour off the top of that

Not unusual at all

$30-35 an hour here for local boys licensed techs.
$120/hr shop rate. I quit and went independently and charge $80/hr from my home shop but the last few years it’s been LS based engine swaps only.

My tools are worth 40k.

>>520576661
That is because OP is a commie faggot. The Ford dealer near me has a sign saying they are hiring at $42hr

>>520576486 (OP)
They pay $160,000 a year for ASE certified in my area, still not enough for me to deal with that bulkshit work. I work at my own pace, and that pace is slacker paced.

>My tools are worth 40k
kek, my box was just shy of 30k. I don't turn wrenches anymore. It's just collecting dust now. Total value with tools is well over 150k

Running a garage is expensive anon

Every business in the world runs on this model, because businesses need to make money and turn a profit or they can't pay their rent or mortgages or buy supplies.

Shops charge you for parts. All they pay for is rent in a really crummy part of town, tools which are a one time purchase is the mechanic doesn't provide their own, the wages and (insurance).

>Mechanics too stupid to start their own shop
> Mechanics always do jobs on the side for $60/hr

No bump for you kike tranny

Yes usually they charge double the price of parts that's how businesses make money. This is why I do my own repairs whenever possible.

Cost of employee is double the salary they get paid.
