Or just have a manager do their job and watch over the employees to make sure they do there job accordingly? Hello!?! I remember my first beer? Welcome to the work force? What are we even talking about here?
In most places the customer pays the book rate even if the job was done in less than book hours.
You want us to believe a mechanic? Gets paid twenty dollars an hour?? That is total bullshit!!
I like this idea and it makes sense n se man
HAPPY EMPLOYEE IS GOOD EMPLOYEE. 😊
Champions deal 😊❤🎉
I wish stuff was that simple. Truth is, since Covid, most shops offer a minimum base pay. But it still doesn’t help. Guys would rather show up, make the minimum and do as little possible. Instead of working hard to make more money, they just adjust their lives to survive on the minimum and then never make an effort again. Very, very few people in the area are willing to do all they can every day.
They called Incentive bonus.
$20 an hour? Wtf? Shop charging you out at $165 an hour? No way i would wrench for $20 an hour. Ffs
Great yes sir
Book time is usually 2-10× the length a job actually takes. He never stated what the base hourly rate was, could be waitress rates. They get paid hourly and a "bonus rate". This system would be best if you rename the bonus rate to "tips" and now your guys pay no income tax on that... now THAT would smart.
He is an owner. But he takes care of his employees. There will be less turnover.
in my early 20s i was a bookkeeper at a small auto shop and i remember one day i saw how much we did in sales and i told one of the guys as like a "woah check this out" kind of thing. the owner overheard and gave me a talking to afterward, saying i shouldnt tell them how much money the shop makes because then they'll start asking for raises.
Don't hire a dumb, slow, stupid, expert con artist mechanic. Hire an honest, skilled, knowledgeable professional friend and pay appropriately the fair fee. NO RIP OFF ARTISTS PLEASE 😉
Imagine if that theory was practiced everywhere else?
Diagnostic guy should always be hourly
See that's a great boss looking out for his employees. If employees are happy, they tend to work faster and harder. Great idea 💡
$20/hr for labor..? Where can I find that shop? 😂 My last shop bill had 12 hrs of labor- $2200 😮
Sounds like a good pay ❤❤❤
No one feels like they get fairly paid. It's why UPS drivers strike when they are already making bank.
Who is stupid enough to work flat rate
Guys please subscribe and like and watch , this man deserves it and I'm sure it would help out a lot don't be ignorant it takes a few seconds
Where you located and are you hiring bc im a flat rate tech for 20 years and this small town is a hard place for a tech...wish more would shops did this or something like it like if I make 40 hours and was here for 40 hours then leave the hourly pay alone and give the the flat rate hours but if I make 20 then give the the 20 hourly pay even if its like 15 an hour...I make 30 and I have to have at least 90% of the hours im there to get the 30 otherwise im 28...😂😂😂 what a deal
So what does your shop charge per hour for labor?
Yes broken bolts lose big time do not get paid to clean it either .
So two mansions aren't enough for today's mechanics..
I work for Sears for 32 years and that is the way we used to get paid it was called a modified flat rate. We would get paid hourly plus a percentage of everything we did it was really good money! It was perfect because we made more money in the company made a lot more money it was a win win
Except big corporations <br>They want to squeeze you energy to 0 for some ridiculous pay <br>I know because i work for some and all are the same
You're doing it right.
To me I feel like instead of them switching completely if they find that an employee is milking their hours they should then switch that employee to flat rate until they go back to fixing stuff at a timely manner. <br><br>I don't think that everybody should have to suffer because of the fact that there's that one dude that wants to milk the fuck out of his clock. <br><br>I know a dude that my dad trusted completely to fix stuff and I'm pretty sure he did flat rate stuff but one of the things that I began to notice is because of the fact that he's getting older he started up charging the hell out of shit so I had to start going somewhere else. The thing with flat rate is is you can up the price on how much you want to charge to have somebody do something and you can screw people over a hell of a lot easier than you can using a clock.
Bravo 👏👏👏🤝🇺🇲🇧🇷🙋🏻♂️
Thank you for being an employer who cares. Curious have you seen higher retention? I would think so. Also you are honest and trustworthy, I wish I could bring my son's Ford Flex - 😢
This guy needs to franchise out there's a place where I live in Bonney Lake good money out here I didn't know that when I moved out here I never would have moved here wrong ZIP code for me but I'm making a living it's tight but he could do that out here there's two shops out here that are s*** and there's two shots out here that are good the good ones are insane to get into the s*** shops no problem the Ford dealer no problem but they charge $125 an hour so I only get my oil changes done there on my 04 Lincoln Town Car
GREAT pay method. I remember the Chilton's and Motor flat rate rate manual (1970s-80s when I was doing mechanics).
Would keep me
Ford specifically says they have a shortage of techs. I wonder why! Because techs will fix warranty work ay flat rate that actually takes more time! That is common in general, so no wonder rhey need techs!
Salute to you 🫡
But I get it, in La you have to do like 80 jobs that generate 100$ each just to make under 100k and that’s before taxes. System makes them have to scam like 1 time every couple mouth just to make it cuz taxes

Okay, that's quite a workaround system. I bet your employees really like that.
Meaning customers get gauge
Now this seems like a real honest mechanic right here I'd trust him and his guys to work on my car if I had a car
Best course of action, get into a new line of work.
How do you (or the garage) not make money? Feels like every time a mechanic sneezes in the vicinity of a car, it costs $1000
On more intelligent than most. I quit being a mechanic in the early 80s.😊
I need to work for this guy<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>sign me up!
A happy crew is a productive one
Techs should open their own shops and poach techs from dealerships. Let the dealerships struggle. F em
That’s how all jobs should be if we are making efficient work pay better and when there is no work pay good. (From here on out I’m just ranting) It’s always a look of shock when I give my two weeks bc I’ve hit the pay top at a small company. If you want to keep good employees for years pay them better. The proof is in the pudding. If you want people to work hard you better pull out that cash when they do bc they are carrying your dreams as a business owner. So far in my life every where I’ve worked has had high turnover rates. Ive only seen one person actually retire after 20 years at a large company. I don’t know I just think the pay is lacking when I have to spend more than an hour of my wages to go to a normal restaurant. Like I get that it’s a privilege to go out and eat and I should cook at home. But when I want to go on a date with my partner I have to spend at minimum 100 dollars on after food at an ever day restaurant like I just don’t get how employers can imagine that 15.16 an hour is actually keeping your employees feed. It like we’re stuck in limbo with pay.
Another excellent video
What about selling a customer a 12 hour job and being done 6 hours later? Is that an issue? I didn’t like seeing 2 hours labor on an invoice and they called me 20 mins after I approved the work…
And they wonder why they cant get mechanics.
I worked at a shop that paid hourly plus a commission, commission was as low 39 percent of labor generated but had to produce enough generated labor to pay yourself before commission kicked in and then vacation pay was figured out at 6 week average
Engine install would take me a week!!!😮😮
I was getting paid between $20-$26/hr flat rate back in 2004.
If it takes you 16 hours to do a job that pays 8 hours book time and you didn't run into a bunch of problems, you're a shitty mechanic and should find another line of work.
The only problem with this is that YouTube only gave me one like button.<br><br>Hell yeah dude
As someone who knows squat about cars and who literally just learned how do his own oil change, it's amazing to hear someone like you actually inform the every day driver and also empowering the experts who get the job done. Thank you!
Kudos to you sir
book time accounts for a smooth R&R. they don’t account for rusted/dirty shit
$20 an hour??? Shops in Az are charging $150+ an hour and they are struggling to find good mechanics. And I like the way you are paying your employees.
I appreciate what your doing. God bless man
We are flat rate with an 85 hr guarantee. Your system sounds great as well because it sounds like if you are high one day and low the next your good day doesn't subsidize your bad day you just get more on your good days.
A blended system is the only way that it should be done because trusting a shop to have you completely occupied for the entire day is a lot of pressure. If servers can get wages plus tips, why can't mechanics?
Sounds great Eddie. But what is the actual Bonus Pay? And what is there hourly pay? Explain please.
That's a great solution! Thanks for sharing. Have a nice day.
Oh shit......a real tech, came up with a real solution
But what about when the manual says say a job is 6 hours, but really can be done in 3, why do I have to pay for 6?
Your a fair boss and taking care of your employees and their families! 👍👍
Hourly with incentive is the only way to go i work at a ford dealer and thats how we get paid any hours flagged over 40 we get pay increase every 1.5 after 40 until it caps at 60 hours so you get a 5 to 10 buck increases in lay if you get more work donw
The flat rate must be quite a bit lower than normal then.
when i worked for for Mercedes it was similar, Germany, real Mervedes. not some dealer
I know someone who worked in a body shop for nearly 40 years. Used to be hourly. Then flat rate. He was a master of his craft. But he said with the new tech and million clips on bumpers etc, there was no way to make any real money anymore even when you work your ass off and know what you’re doing. Sad stuff. Insurance companies are to blame
Thank u
That right there is a man with integrity and cares for his workers. Just earned a subscription in my book. Keep up the good work and good mentality
I don't know any mechanic that makes $20/hour
I remember my first job at a dealership. A young lube tech and I had no idea what warranty pay was. I marked a leaking timing cover. Turns out seeping and leaking are different. So the tech that got it was mad because it was Toyota avalon. Customer pay is like 10+hours but warranty only paid like 6. He saw I was new and kindly explained the difference. "Next time ask one of us to look at it." As a customer I want my car fixed but as a tech I want to get paid fairly.
so eric the car guy says stay dirty so attorneys get ready to rumble
Im a hustler. Only because im over 40yr old. <br>I know what my job is and I do it right the first time.<br>I usually have 3-6 trucks being worked on at any given time.
20 an hour is crazy for mechanic work when all the garages i know of charge the customer 90 plus an hour for labor
This mechanic has seen the future. AI is not coming for his labor force. AI doesn't do loyalty.
Incentive to push harder, but covered when there's nothing to push...good work brother
This is awesome.
I love flat rate i made tons of money in my day but I also had a 40hour guarantee
Correction, flat rate, commission, and then hourly. I did all three but now Im hrly/contract. Dont work at a shop that does limited repairs, invest in tools, invest in yourself, jump on different training seminars! If you are good at propperly diagnosing and not screwing up repairs you will make money! I got good from fixing comebacks from other techs when I started out, then I ran circles around them and had complaints about taking work.😂 It took a few years but I started killing it working flat rate and commission. Now Im hourly but work for a municipal fleet.
God bless you
👏👏👏👏💞👏👏👏
I love that. That's also an amazing way to keep them motivated to work on a project to ensure it's perfect rather than rushing to fit the repair in a time slot. Very good
Most mechanics here charge by the hours they work on a car, and they certainly charge more then 20 an hour
Smart
My question is: who determines the hours paid for each job with flat rate? Somebody came up with “owe this job is 8 hours.”
So if you fuck around at work you find out on payday
"Mechanics are not fairly paid" that's hard to believe, one of the least trusted professionals. Most mechanics rip you off. I even got one to admit that indirectly.
o7 I salute you Sir! Everyone gets to EAT!
Dope!!!! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
We implemented a similar system for our Massage Therapy practice. We paid all the therapists a base hourly rate for the time they were clocked in and would give them a commission on top for every service they performed. We were the best paying Massage Therapy business in the area and attracted a lot of the best therapists. We ended up selling that business for a quarter million and moving away. Now my wife and I just work for ourselves again and we make a little side cash renting out rooms in our office to other practitioners.
😂 172 hours a week
Not even a mechanic but great vid got a subscribe from me
This is why dealership mechanics are quitting, they usually do flat rate by commissions
Hourly otherwise go elsewhere
Up next
