How much does a auto motive mechanic get paid a week?

Several factors are in effect to determine how much you can make as an automotive mechanic. First is always "qualifications". As with any job the more you know and are willing to learn the more you will make. It also depends on whether you work for a dealership, privately owned shop or are a freelance mechanic. Dealership mechanics work on commission and have a steady flow so they tend to have more cash available. The thing that puts most mechanics in debt is their expenses. You are usually required to have your own tools and mechanics have a fatal weakness for tools. You can buy quality tools from Sears, Lowes, Home Depot and so on or you can buy Snap On or Mac tools for a little more money. If you get what you need and don't fall into the trap of buying tools you may never use you'll be OK. But, like I said, it can be fatal. If you go to any mechanics tool box, open it up and search for a 10mm combination wrench you will likely find at least six of them in that box plus an extra small box with one or two more. Man only has two hands so why would he need that many of the same size? If you can avoid that pitfall, like any business, watch your expenses, you can make a good living as a mechanic.
