you mean that like some guys i worked in past that they didn’t even checked minimum thickness for rotors…
i had seen it at mopar dealer that guys that remachine rotors until one side was paper thin…i am sorry that is just stupid and unprofessional…
if some techs did work properly then, we wouldn’t have jobs, right….?
that’s my rant.

[quote=”stingray66″ post=31849]Ok Than I have a good question. Why do todays techs accept this flat rate crap?? My thing is if no one will apply for a job that is flat rate them maybe jobs would open up to the right labor rate. I am 60 and retired but if I was younger there is NO way I would ever go to flat rate. All Flat rate is good for is for sloppy work done fast and most of the times NOT done right. In the 45 + years that I have been a tech I have seen the bad side of flat rate. And to this day I just don’t get it. I made more money hourly than most tech did on flat rate. And I also took the time to do the job right the first time with out the pressure
of a flat rate pay. When I worked at a chevy dealer ship all they kept giving me was warranty work and back then warranty work only paid haft of the book labor rate HELL there was weeks I worked 50 hours but got paid for 25 hours. Needless to say a month of that and I walked out .I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO FLAT RATE
I think that in todays market flat rate should just die[/quote]hello, senior tech.
i agree part of it…i worked in mopar dealer where three out of 9 techs work honest and work properly…
yes, i was one of those techs fixed comeback of other techs…i had done work over 180 and made only 110 hours…i guess i was sucky technician wanting to do the job right..
i had done both union shop with hourly, indy shop with hourly, dealership work with hourly…
seems like working in our mechanical field is how it is…
