Since working in the service department at Chrysler-Dodge I've decided that if you really want to make money, at least as a service advisor, then you want to work for a domestic or euro dealership. One of our tech's at Chrysler-Dodge got injured over the summer and couldn't work for several months. He just recently started working again as a tech. But when his doctor told him he could work, but sit down type stuff, he was working as a service advisor over at Nissan. He made the comment that "Dodge's and Chrysler's, they brake. Nissan's, not so much." I would assume that that statement holds true for most of the import makes.I'm not sure how tech's get paid, but most service advisors, from what I've seen, get paid a flat salary plus commission (something like 10%). A friend of mine is a service advisor at VW. Even though he's been there the shortest amount of time, he's making the most money. Guess he's good with customers, and such.How are tech's paid, in comparison to service advisor's?
