    I have been trying to find a job as a GST for a very long time, and it's getting to the point where employers aren't even calling me back! And I really want to know why!

    WrenchWay & ASE created an online technician pay tool to give a more accurate picture of the earning potential of technicians. This is used to help attract young people to the industry. Please comment on what technicians at your shop can earn.

    Our apprentice technicians will earn hourly wage of $20.00 per hour to start as they mentor with master certified Audi technicians. Upon the 90-day employment mark they will then be given access to the manufacturer training portal. From that point they will be given progress reviews every 6 months along with hourly wage increases based on merit -progress, attendance, investments in tools. Upon completion of all the required training and the apprenticeship program on the 29 month of employment technicians will be considered "C" technicians with a current pay scale of $28.35 per hour as of 9/1/2024 - 9/1/2025. The progress to other wages, technician skill levels is based on the individual where they can advance to B - A -Master - or Master Guild levels within the brand.

They’re transparent with their technicians, not just claiming to be a great place to work but proving it through recognition posts on Shop Talk, clear career development paths with Lexus training, and detailed pay and benefits.
