Get Accurate Technician Pay Data

WrenchWay, ASE, and I-CAR have partnered to provide better data around technician pay. Other sources combine unrelated roles and do not properly factor in total pay, causing their numbers to be much lower than what we see from our shops and dealers.

According to our Technician Pay Tool, automotive technicians earn an average of $89,722 per year with 18 years of experience, while diesel technicians earn $84,685 per year with 15 years of experience.
