It must mean they are even more difficult to retain than here... the Boston area is likely very close to high priced CA dealerships, they bill shop rates of at least $90 an hour, and techs make %30 or less of that. Of course some will make more, but I don't think it is the average because many more are paid way less.

Many of them earning above 6 figures... Cheers, Jeff

The techs generally have a dislike of their jobs, all pressure, low pay, no pride in their work because it would slow them down, and this manifests itself in a bizarre hatred of the customers themselves. I know plenty of good techs, but the good ones that are also good guys won't be working at a dealership long whether they plan to or not. |
