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 sold a Forklift to a guy that owns a Maaco. We talked business for a bit. He said his painter could average 2000-2500 most weeks. He also said the guy was exceptional at his job. It's an example of someone who has figured it out for themselves....
