BravoJohny33 Spend some time digging through the US Federal govt data sources (BLS, Census, BEA) and see if auto technician is a growing or above-average paying occupation. I don’t think it is.

For a specialist Porsche or Ferrari shop, they charge what the market bears. If they print money, good for them. For higher volume brands like BMW, MB and others, there is more competition and less profit, although a consumer may believe they “charge too much”. MB dealers charge about $200/hr in labor. It is what it is.

If you think shops charge too much, go into the business yourself, or invest in tools and know-how so you won’t need their services.
