$10/hr flat rate is definitely not acceptable. When I first started I was making 45% of labor just like everybody else in the shop, but it wasnt a dealership. Never worked at a dealership and never will if I can help it. The jobs I have had paid 45% of labor, 50% of labor, $7/hr plus 15.5% of parts and labor after the first $1550, $10/hr plus 10% of parts and labor, and $22-$26/hr flat rate.
All I can say is you guys need to get away from the dealerships. $10/hr flat rate is BS. Tire techs make more than that.

Jasper is good to go, and they stand by there warranty. The shop I work at uses Jasper and we are a warranty repair shop for them. We had a Chevy Venture with a Jasper engine get towed in that was, IIRC, 15k miles out of warranty. They didn’t pay labor but they did give them a new engine.

SpawnedX-Where are you located? I dont know what dealer techs make around here, middle Tennessee, but good independent shops pay $22-32/hour. Some that pay less, but most do not. Highest paid tech where I work currently I think is $28/hour.

Hourly plus commission. Back when minimum wage was 5.25/hr I worked at a shop that payed $7/hr plus 15.5% of parts and labor after the first $1550 for a 50 hour work week. If you only worked 40 hours one week then you started making commission after $1250 or so. So basically after you covered your hourly you started making commission.
ETA- Even the tire techs made commission. They made 8-10/hr plus 9 or 10% after the first (I think)$900, but it didnt include new tires. They made commission off valve stems, mount & balancing, oil changes, used tires, etc

The one I have at home is an old Cambell Hausfeld 26 gallon that I have been using for about 17 years. All I have done to it is change the oil and have changed the plug a couple times.
