Default Career as a audi mechanic? Salary, job info wanted

never really thought a mechanic can make 100K plus...

who knows maybe I'm wrong. You'll save a bunch when your car gets f*cked up. But c'mon man, just stick to a job you like, not cuz of pay, or you might as well go into investment banking.

Well, i have also heard that some mechanics can make 6 figures too. But dont do it just for moeny, u can get plenty more doing something else, but if u love working on cars than u would prolly love this.

Ok, lets get someone that really knows the capabilities of being an Audi tech? I've often thought about it because I love the brand so much. I'm not sure about the hours though. They aren't too bad but you have to work on Saturday. I hate working in an office and it's making me crazy lately. People call me Peter Gibbins at work which is not a good sign.

Being an Audi mechanic isnt that bad. I work on vw and audis daily I am always booked. My family's shop where we specialize in the brand for repair and used cars. They are fairly simple to work on compared to some others. But you do have to love the cars you work on and dont be in for the money because you will not make any money. Be in it for the customer, the car, and the love. Then the money will come.
