In a few months i am about to start Community College to become a auto tech and be certified and all 8 areas.I was doing resource and i stumbled onto this site.I heard alot of mix opinions on this line of work.(i understand that doing the same job for years is always stressing on a person)So i can understand why some of you might not like it.But i heard some people say they make 45-60 and even up to 75 working flat rate if they bust there butt(which is not all bad to me).I just want to know if jobs have a steady flow of work coming in.So i could make 40-50 hr a week if i work hard.I want to be sure that this job is not like a pack of wolves fight over a piece of meat (in this a case work).Is there enough work to work hard and get paid right or is there little work and the only way to make a living is to fight like an animal to steal work form one another.

I have worked flat rate and it is a pack of wolves guys fighting over gravy orders, also if your dispatcher is not on your side you will never see anything but warranty and the times are much lower and harder to make money.

down here in Florida at a so called busy kia dealer the last 6 months I worked I probally played video games for about 4-5 hours a day just to keep myself from falling asleep on my toolbox. The only 2 out of the 8 tecs there that got any work was the shop brownnoser and the hourly mexican kid hat got all the pdi's. FLATE RATE IS BROKEN don't work without a guarantee
Best bet look into a differn't trade before u waste your time

do not waste you time, the industry is too corrupt, i have been a diag specialist for 5 yrs and hae moved to the top in ranks for collage and special taring, i will say i have nothing to show for it, im now getting into law enforcement so i can retire in 20 yrs and be able to survive, so long and short , dont waste your money and time on working to make someone else rich/
