Technicians can now search pay rates across the country based on location, industry, type of shop, and years of experience.
Recently, we conducted a survey to better understand the earning potential of technicians in different regions and throughout various stages of their careers. We received nearly 3,000 responses from across the U.S.
The data was very interesting, and here is a very small sample to share:
| Auto Dealership | Auto Independent | Diesel | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0-3 years experience | $48,533 | $56,819 | $57,367 |
| 4-10 years experience | $81,902 | $69,546 | $75,045 |
| 11+ years experience | $108,105*
*Avg. experience: 22 years |
$87,968*
*Avg. experience: 25 years |
$93,712*
*Avg. experience: 20 years |
We were going to bring you a full report, but we’re giving you something even more useful…
