Salary of an ASE certified Master Automotive Technician?
I'm going to go to school for automotive mechanics soon and am having trouble figuring out salaries. When I looked at average salaries for honda master techs I found

The pay was $12/hour in 2011 at entry level.
That seems like a pipe-dream to me as i have a son that's been a mechanic for at least 15 years and never made anywhere near that, i believe he has maybe 12 ase certificates. He has also taught at 2 automotive schools, made $55,000/$58,000
mercedes benz would pay much more than the other dealers you speak of, that being said they hire the better mechanics. It takes years to get there. Just how long do you think it will take you to get that much knowledge? It won't happen in just 5 years. See experience takes many years years of actually doing a job.
start thinking lower. Depends more on the dealership.***:D
- What's the best automotive school to go to if i want to work with hondas? I've been in college for almost a year and i don't see myself enjoying it or feel the desire to stay in school. And i think the automotive industry is better suited for me. Please
- Dealer told me it was a Honda Certified pre-owned car, but I never received anything from Honda saying so? What should i do? The car now needs repairs and the dealer lied to me about the certification. Do I have any rights?
- Is it better to become a auto technician at a dealership or open up your own shop? I like Ford, Toyota, Honda, Porsche. I'm a senior high school student making a mind if its better to work at a dealership or open up own auto shop? I'm aware that most dealerships uses flat rate system and I do have some knowledge about cars in general. I work at a private auto shop as of currently. Oil change, mount and balance tire, brake fluid, transmission fluid, brake pad and rotors replacement. ETC. I pretty much do the basics stuff.
- If I buy a Certified Pro-owned Honda from a Toyota dealership, is it still CPO and under warranty? The CPO Honda warranty is for 1 year/12,000 miles from date of purchase, but I bought it from the Toyota "side" of the same dealership. Honda still has to honor the warranty, right?
