If you’ve been thinking about a career as an auto mechanic, it’s important to understand what the average automotive technician salary is and how it might vary depending on where you live. There are a number of factors that play into determining the typical automotive repair technician salary, including location, education level and experience.
The average yearly wage for an automotive mechanic is $60,851. This figure can vary depending on where you work and your level of expertise. However, gaining more skills and becoming ASE certified will boost your earning potential.
Mechanics in some states may earn more than those in other states due to the cost of living. Other factors that can impact automotive technician salary include whether you have any specializations or certifications, and what type of shop you work at. For example, a dealership collision center typically pays more than an independent body shop. Lastly, advancing to supervisory or management positions can increase your salary.
For example, the state of Colorado offers competitive salaries to automotive technicians. The state’s top industries are tourism, manufacturing and mining, which means there are plenty of opportunities for mechanics to find employment and develop their skills in a highly skilled industry. In addition, some of the highest paying cities for automotive mechanic jobs are Brookline, Watertown and Melrose, where salaries reach $79,710. These high wages are a result of a skilled workforce and strong local businesses that can provide an excellent career path for automotive technicians.
