How many mechanics are paid is on a Flat Rate system. Paid for the job no matter the time it takes to complete. If you want to make money as a mechanic you have to beat flat rate. The way I beat flat rate was to work smart AND hard to get work done. And the biggest part, NOT SCREWING PEOPLE and ripping off customers. Here are tips on beating the flat rate pay system. Since most people won't read this part, I will put it in multiple spots. I DO NOT think that flat rate is the BEST pay structure. But I found ways to be successful, and I am sharing that with you. There are parts of the pay structure that are broken and need to change. BUT we can either sit back and whine and wait for it to change, change it by moving to a new job, OR do both and make some money while doing the world catches up. ~~~~ Support the Show ~~~~ Become A CrewMember ~ https://goo.gl/D7eROI Patreon ~ https://www.patreon.com/user?u=4243029 Audio ONLY Podcasts ~ https://goo.gl/5XcZxB ~~~~ Recommended Tools ~~~~ Impact driver ~ http://amzn.to/2HsxS2H Small Impact driver ~ https://amzn.to/2DZdsMN Electric ratchet ~ http://amzn.to/2FydxMS Magnetic tray ~ http://amzn.to/2FEpQ6g Basic hand tools ~ http://amzn.to/2GnjF7K Box wrench set ~ http://amzn.to/2FzoJch ScrewDriver set ~ http://amzn.to/2FEjcgd Shop towels ~ http://amzn.to/2FC7UgM Torque Wrench ~ https://amzn.to/2I7ke5h Allen Sockets ~ https://amzn.to/2GlcnAz Torx Sockets ~ https://amzn.to/2pL0SfL Jack Stands ~ https://amzn.to/2HrKuM9 Floor Jack ~ https://amzn.to/2KaqY4e ~~~~ Playlists ~~~~ Humble Mechanic Podcasts ~ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwfzU5uvU-lKLEvGiyabJxxazND2S7lC- Project White Wookie ~ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwfzU5uvU-lJpDFuyOTudNRrlTdTRihqk Failed VW parts videos ~ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwfzU5uvU-lIxxNMAO-nNe4c3Liohrrr- Tool and Product Reviews ~ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwfzU5uvU-lKA_oaxAkY0KKTvS4cxuPA7 How To videos ~ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwfzU5uvU-lKM-_ShLfG-IrNqklIp0_To MK1 VR6 Swap Videos ~ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwfzU5uvU-lKJ09uR9evf987LmSuijY-p ~~~~ Follow all the projects ~~~~ http://humblemechanic.com INSTAGRAM ~ http://instagram.com/humblemechanic/ FACEBOOK ~ https://www.facebook.com/HumbleMechanic TWITTER ~ https://twitter.com/HumbleMechanic GOOD STUFF ON AMAZON ~ http://amzn.to/2fr7yfE (affiliate) ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdDZ_7J7sHE
