Get Accurate Technician Pay Data

WrenchWay, ASE, and I-CAR have partnered to provide better data around technician pay. Other sources combine unrelated roles and do not properly factor in total pay, causing their numbers to be much lower than what we see from our shops and dealers.

According to our Technician Pay Tool - on average - automotive technicians get paid $90,116 per year and have 19 years of experience while diesel technicians earn $85,076 per year and have 16 years of experience.
