@curtisagardner: Nothing like a slow day to add to your slow week that adds to your slow month that adds to a slow year… #mechanic #mechaniclife #automotive #autorepair #cars #shoplife #flatrate #automotivetechnician
Everytime I bring up at work that we need to get rid of flat rate, I’m told it’s the “industry standard”. Most places will not get rid of it because it benefits the house, not the tech

What's the industry standard for mark-ups on parts? for example a brake booster and master cylinder using genuine Ford parts.

Your pay structure can change if you find a good shop. I’m currently salary with a production bonus for billing over 40. I know a lot of shops switching to that style pay plan.

With the state of technology and expanding electrical systems flat rate isn’t viable especially with warranty systems like it used to

pay structure will change, when you smarten up and leave the trade, the skills we have as techs are so transferable you can be making way more money doing way easier jobs..... trust me, the grass is absolutely greener

Flat rate is a scam. Maybe at some point in history it was a good idea but it’s not now or the last 30 years.
