How much does an ase master certified mechanic make per hour?

Answer 1

"in my own opinion ,a master mechanic should be making about 35 bucks an hour to start ."

Mechanics in general are not payed by hourly or salary figures. They are payed based on how much time a given task is estimated to take. If a job is estimated to take 1.3 hours and you take two hours you are making less if you do it faster then the estimated time your making more. So the rate of pay is entirely determined by the set estimated hour rate and how besy the shop is (your not payed wile sitting around waiting on a customer). So the average pay is anywhere from 25k to 75k a year depending on how fast you get the job done and how besy your shop is.

Now this can change drasticly depending on if your a specialist such as turbo/super installation or proformance exhaust and other custom design work.
