Automotive RepairCompensation Management4HighOwner$ implied
Flat rate pay system causes mechanics to rush jobs, sacrifice quality, and create customer distrust, while shop owners struggle with billing disputes and unpredictable income.
Flat rate incentivizes speed over quality, leading to comebacks and customer dissatisfaction; hourly pay reduces productivity. No existing system aligns mechanic pay with both efficiency and quality.
