    Bro, ive been working as a mechanic for 27 months. I started flag rate with a guarantee of 30 hours a week at 26 dollars an hour. Basically i get paid about 75 labor hours every two weeks. Three days ago i bought my first 56 inch toolbox! Its only a small step. I have $1200 dollars of debt for my box and tools. Other than that, i still need about 4,000 dollar more worth of tools to feel comfortable. I started with $200 dollars worth of tools and now i have about $11,400 dollars of tooling including my box after two years. I probably have another thousand dollars of wasted tools that became outdated or updated. Its extremely expensive.

      The good news is that my company has a good environment, I'm a trusted mechanic within the shop. Service advisers, shop foreman and the other mechanics trust me. I'm already able to negotiate for a pay raise. I hope to negotiate a rate of 30 dollars with a guarantee of 30 hours a week. Also a bonus incentive of an extra 15-20 hours and I would be happy with that pay. The company is paying for me to be trained by some of the best automotive teachers in the United states in a few weeks around Sept 20th time which is very good. I work for a decent company at least but I don't like the physical, mental and monetary costs of me needing about 16-20k worth of tools only to begin to feel comfortable working on cars independently. Its a huge investment.

      @@CharlesJohnstone-c2n damn bro thats hella expensive, atleast it seems like you have a good working place, well i mean at 20k worth of tools you basically have everything a workshop needs, if you ever get tired of that place , you should consider opening ur own workshop or working as a mobile mechanic.
      so basically the workshop doesnt offer any free tools at all? im thinking like maybe impactguns or angle grinders?

      @@lilbasis5266 they don't provide any tools. Mechanics provide all tools here in Texas. They only provide specialty engine timing kits and general shop equipment. Im 26 and yeah, I'll work and get all the tools till I have 30k worth of tools then I plan on getting a 26ft box truck and running freight In the United states working at my own pace when I'm 30 years old or maybe even 29 if things keep going good. Could even do fleet maintenance with a box truck like that. Good advice.
