Automotive RepairCompensation Management4HighAuto Repair Technician$ implied
Flat rate pay and express/warranty work are making auto repair technicians underpaid and undervalued despite years of experience.
Current flat-rate pay systems do not account for real time spent on express and warranty jobs, which pay less labor time than actual effort, leaving technicians feeling undercompensated.
