In our ongoing quest to understand technician pay dynamics, WrenchWay's survey outcomes present intriguing revelations. Contrary to official statistics by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), our data, featuring insights from collision repair technicians, suggests higher average earnings. With collision repair specialists reportedly earning a mean salary of approximately $87,000 per year, it's clear that conventional perceptions may not align with reality. To contribute to this evolving narrative, technicians are encouraged to participate in the Automotive and Diesel Technician Compensation Tool. #TechnicianCompensation #CareerDevelopment #AutobodyNews

💡 NEVER diagnose on the service lane! 🤔 Except sometimes it’s perfectly ok… With experience comes intuition. As a service advisor, you’re always told to never diagnose on the service lane. See a check engine light - Don’t say “yeah that’s going to be a vaper canaster for sure.” Hear a squealing noise - Don’t say “it’s definitely your brakes let’s start there.” Let your trained technicians make that call. It’s quite literally their job! But… what about a broken mirror? Or bald tires? Or worn out wiper blades? In these very obvious situations, we don’t need a technician to take a look and tell us what we can see plainly in the sevice lane. It’s perfectly appropriate to get a quote for a that mirror, and for those tires, and for those wiper blades without waiting for the technician to tell anyone to do so. But this takes intuition. If you are on the fence about doing this for a specific concern you see on the lane, play it safe! Just ask and then next time you’ll know for sure. ✅ Advising service is a performance! Check out my FREE report “Needs Analysis Summary: Technician Training” that aims to shed some light on the technician shortage with REAL data from 11 automotive industry experts and 804 automotive professionals.

Recent findings from WrenchWay's survey challenge the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' (BLS) data on automotive technician pay. While the BLS reports lower averages, our data, inclusive of responses from collision repair technicians, suggests significantly higher earnings. With a mean salary of around $87,000 per year for collision repair specialists, there's a clear disparity. To deepen our understanding, technicians are urged to contribute their experiences via the Automotive and Diesel Technician Compensation Tool. #TechnicianCompensation #DataInsights #CareerDevelopment
