They don't pay a salary at all, so no. Mechanics are flat-rate, which means you get paid a fixed amount for a given task, standardized in terms of hours of labor by some agent like Mitchell 1, and the dealerships frequently cut the hour rating for warranty work, which means mechanics have to work faster on in-warranty cars to break even. This weird-ass billing practice is why I left the field; total comp is much better in IT.

Here is the answer: https://www.motor1.com/news/774805/ford-ceo-complains-shorta...

Effectively you will either do the repair in the timeframe set by somebody from a desk, or you are not getting the 6 figure.

And I can already see pencil pushers making limits tighter when too many people would be able to fit in them. So only way to win is not play.

> The salary they pay is double the median for car mechanics. You still think that's not paying enough?

It's not up to me to decide if a given employer does or does not pay enough. If people don't want to work for your company, then you're not paying enough relative to your expectations around the job. That's not anyone's opinion, it's just how prices work.
