You tell me......believable LOL

And for those that think that’s bad....just take a look at how the medical profession bills it’s customers/insurance companies!

Inconceivable!:B

Your math doesn't include labor burden. Without knowing what the labor burden rates are for CW, its not a far stretch to suggest that at the $120M salary range has an actual cost of employment of close to $150M (+/-).

But, show me one single CW service tech that's making $120K salary per year and I'll be shocked. Maybe that's possible in a few isolated areas, like LA or Las Vegas. Just like CW...deceptive marketing!

Keep in mind that when a tech books that many hours, in only 40 clock hours, CW is also making out like a bandit. When a unit spends less time sitting in the garage, more units get finished. They bill those customers by the flat rate book, too.

A good tech can book the hours required to hit the $120k mark. But you have to hustle to do that! And then you have to make sure that while hustling you didn’t make any mistakes.

Moved from ATC

That's a pretty good spread in salary, guess which one most people will qualify for.

120K is about 60/hr. CW charges like 150/HR But they charge 150/HR for the 40 K tech too, that's about 20/hr (NOTE hourly rate not exact. Assumes 2000 hours (50 weeks) work and 2 weeks unpaid vacation)

I get more than 40k between Pension and SS and though I do work on motor homes from time to time..(My rate is based on the old "Cold one" concept, only I work for "hot Ones" (Cups of coffee) since I don't like the cold brews).

Let's see 150/20 is 7 1/2 times (750 percent markup) not the industry standard of 2.5 (Of course that was back in teh 60's when prices were reasonable) now if you get a top pay Technican 60/hr, then CW's 150/hr is proper.

well i was an auto tech for 25 years
if they are being paid flat rate hours,and the tech is good and eficiant at what he does.then i would say its quit possible.

i got paid by the hour for every hour worked,any flat rate hours over 40 i got paid for also.
i could do 60-70 hours of flat rate work a week,and i rarely ever put in 40 hours on the clock to do it.i made a very good living.just got to hard on the body,especially with arthritis.so i switched careers.
