Auto Repair Careers

I average about 3 to 4 cars a day. Efficiency is key. We generally just paint parts now. New parts, and almost always loose parts unless it is a quarter or uni side. I average about 20-25 hours per day. I prep paint and polish if needed for 4 body techs. Generally rule of thumb is 3 to 4 body techs for one painter. Production tools like ultra violet primers and baking booths help with production as well. Standard is 15 hours of paint booth load. And yes I do multiple colors at once.

I'm still confused how you achieve that kind of volume for one person. Also don't understand how you "average about 20-25 hours per day"? I'd be dead in two weeks time at that pace, plus there is only 24 hrs in the day where I'm from, so I'd already be 14 hrs behind in those two weeks alone.

Guess I'll just stick to engineering and design work, it has paid me very well over the years.
