The automotive industry is facing a critical challenge: automotive technicians are leaving the field in massive numbers. Recent surveys from Wrench Way reveal that 88% of current technicians have either thought about leaving the industry or plan to leave soon. This alarming statistic highlights a deep concern within the workforce.

In this video, we explore why so many technicians are stepping away from the trade. We dive into the latest numbers from Wrench Way surveys and analyze the factors behind the mass exodus. From inadequate wages to stressful working conditions, it’s clear that something needs to change.

Average Salary: The average salary for an automotive technician hovers around $41,000 $46,000 per year, which many argue is not enough to cover the cost of living and the increasing demands of the job.

To get a better understanding of the situation, I conducted my own case study by calling various dealerships across the U.S., including states like Minnesota, Ohio, Hawaii, California, and Virginia.

Tune in as we discuss the key issues plaguing the industry and what could be done to address this crisis. If you are a technician or someone interested in the automotive world, this video will give you valuable insights into the current state of the profession.
