Auto Mechanic Salary (United States)
United States automotive technicians typically earn around 40,000 to 58,000 dollars per year, with master techs and specialists above 75,000.
Overview
Flat-rate pay systems, techs are paid by the job rather than the hour, create both upside and famine, and many technicians supply their own tools, a real cost commonly exceeding tens of thousands of dollars. Dealership, independent and fleet shops pay differently, and electric vehicle service is pushing new certifications into the trade. The technician shortage is chronic, and experienced diagnosticians are scarce. These indicative figures come from federal wage statistics and understate strong specialists.
