Yea it's sad, the majority of shops, even non dealer, pay their mechanics on some sort of commission basis. My techs at a motorcycle shop I used to run years back, worked on a split. 50 percent for them, 50 for the owner. It worked fine most of the time. But if their was a comeback, or a problem, that's when all the drama started. I wished they were paid a good hourly, but in the repair business it rarely is done. Besides profit, it keeps the employee from trying to milk the time clock. It is sad that most dealer techs are like horses with blinders on. They know their job, but can't vary from that. I know because I've chatted with techs about other brands, other than their training, and it's like your speaking Klingon! Thank goodness I've worked on everything from Alfas to Zundapp motorcycles. And loved the challenge of figuring out what made them tick.
