On the average, collision repair technicians make more annually than dental hygienists, medical lab technicians, carpenters, and electronic technicians. As your skills increase, so will your income. As well, you have the possibility of owning your own shop someday. Due to the fact that qualified technicians are in such demand, one way shops are looking to retain employees is through better benefits packages. Benefit packages vary greatly depending upon business size and management style.
Larger businesses tend to offer more benefits.
The collision repair industry is continuously changing. This creates a need for ongoing education in order to keep up with the latest in technology and advancements. It has been shown again and again that technician income tends to increase with ongoing education. Local ROP Programs - contact through your local high school or school district.
