Do mechanics make commission?
Mechanics at a dealership are generally paid “flat rate”. This is kind of like commission, but is determined by a manual/software that says “This job should take 4 hours to complete”, so the mechanic is paid for 4 hours regardless of how long it actually takes. This is good if you’re quick with your jobs.
