Hello. I have a question here. What are the salary rates for a average mechanic working in the UK ? In week or months.
From my own friends and acquaintances (in northwest England), there is quite a variation so hard to say an average. Depends on whether independant or dealer, company size, even brand of vehicle. Everyone qualified earns over £20k, some mid-30s k.
A service manager I know that working at a "premium" brand dealership earns nearly £50k. Even many years back he earned over £35k at a Porsche dealership as mechanic/technician, but he was very good.
I have heard but it's unconfirmed, that wages/salaries are actually becoming lower than they were for some mechanics jobs due to the economic position, either through necessity or employers taking advantage of it as a "dividend".
hi there.
exceptionally talented and experienced senior mechanic and diagnostic expert working for a small independant garage - £12.50 p/h.
said modest and easy going individual is going it alone some time soon, unless LSD feels like enlightening his boss first to help him value the companies only technical guy??
this is part of why I lost heart with the job. we had 2 be ever quicker and rush jobs for less cash. I was only on £6 per hour, rushing (and messing up at times) jobx so my boss made a mint! ps soz about typing and shorthand but dads web crashed and im logged on via my phone!
