Best Answer:
I have been in the auto industry for 16 years. You really can't just throw a figure out for pay. It really depends on where you live. In the US the median income ranges from about $22-48K a year. The mid-west is on the lowest end of that spectrum and the east and west coast respectively on the high end. That figure comes from several different sources. Check your local employment office or state employment website to see if they have the figures. As far as jobs you can be a technician, service writer, service manager, or many other things. I have done lots in this field over my career. I was a body shop apprentice, service writer, a dealership technician, a fleet mechanic, heavy truck technician, tow truck driver and have even done small engine repair. The salary will vary greatly with what you do and most places work on what they call flat rate. This means you get paid by how quickly the job is done. Most people think that sounds easy, just remember you don't control every aspect of the situation. You wait many times on customer approval, parts suppliers, and sometimes even shop space to do the job. Whatever you decide I hope this was helpful, happy wrenching and good luck.
