So are the wages for mechanics skyrocketing?
We have an auto repair shop with four mechanics and we pay them well, provide free lunch and let them set their own schedule and one brings his kid to work when school is out.
It’s 2 to 4 weeks to schedule an appointment. Before we got the 4rth guy, we were 6-8 weeks out.
“So are the wages for mechanics skyrocketing?”
OBVIOUSLY. I would have chosen to be a wealthy mechanic, likely owning my own chain of businesses, but I really didn’t want to get my hands dirty as cars are GREASY, yuck!
So I chose a middle-class lifestyles as a useless* ‘professional’. Still enough to afford dinner and public housing.
*useless because us clean-hands types are a dime a dozen
