I don't know jack about mechanic wages. But I do run a business and would be surprised if there was any law saying a mechanic has to make $25 an hour unless it was a public works project and prevaling wages played a role in the job.

I would also be surprised if it was legal to pay a mechanic less than minimum wages even if it was some sort of commission type job.

I'm sure most shops are regulated by some state agency that can probably answer these question by an online search.

The only commission job I had was paid commission or minimum wage, which ever was more. So on a bad week you would get paid $8 an hour or what ever it was at the time.

Most shops pay flat rate which means you get paid for the hours the book calls for.
So if the job calls for 4hrs you get paid 4hr even if it takes you 6. but if you do the job in 2hrs you still get paid the 4hrs.
