Ryan Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Hence the reason I never take my cars to Canadian Tire....you get what they pay for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lamanated Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 I just had my furnace looked at by a self employed guy for $150 for just over an hour work,and have a friend who is newely licenced as a refactory brick mason, who said he hit 6 figures in late Nov.. I also saw an at for a dental hygene worker for $42 an hr in GP,but most auto mechs made around $27 an hr I think.and work out of their garage as well..

arctic_front Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Contract engineers can come close to $90K a year too in a good season....so there is hope for aviation yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooladdict Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 There an ad in the Abbotsford paper 3 weeks ago from Kingland Ford in yellowknife looking for a licenced automechanic, starting wage 80-100 thousand depending on experience. I realize cost of living in Yellowknife is high, but that sounds pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackmac Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 I think you will find that they pay that for car mech's in Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
