you can make decent money, but you have to put in the time. learn your shit, don`t make come-backs, be nice to your service writer. you can`t show up at 9, leave at 4 and hack all day and make money for long. at brandon chry/jeep, i was first in, usually last out, brought my lunch and i averaged $600 a week take home. there were some $800 checks and some $300-$400 checks. sometimes it`s just slow and nobody makes any money. like christmas time is the worst, people are buying christmas presents not fixing their cars. i liked working for dodge/chry/jeep cause they were/are such junk you usually had steady repair work.
