Depends on the workload he/she has to deal with. Mostly inspections, brakes, tune-ups, oil changes and diagnostics make up the bulk of an adverage day for a wrench. But every vehicle is different even if it's the same year, make and model. Most people have no clue what's going on with their vehicle other than to put gas in it and drive (That's questionable) so the mechanic has to figure out what the "ping", "squeal", "jerk", "knock" or "sputter" is before he can fix the problem. Very akin to being a doctor which is why they charge $85+ bucks an hour.

∙ 9y agoPay depends on whether the mechanic is certified, experienced (that does not mean that the person works on cars at home - that does not count). Does the person have any training, are they good at diagnosing the problem acurately and then performing the repair correctly and in a timely fashion.
There are many factors that affect the pay a mechanic gets. In my opinion, a mechanic is not a person that is changing oil for a living at the local oil change shop. Just my $.02.
Location also affects pay. Do they work at a dealer, national chain, or a mom and pop shop?
It could be anywhere from $30,000 to $150,000.
