we are just under $39, union shop,banfets, campany share top up (not doing to good right now) $600 a year tool alowance, $300 boot, they give you most of the air tools and torq wrenches. everything 3/4 and up is in the tool room.

A lot of guys dont like what we do but I love it, it is not exsactlly machanicing. 
Why does your Jeep say Toyota on it?

Keep in mind the wages in Calgary where based on a labor shortage during the boom and now somewhat of a bust and returning to normal. It was hard to get people and some did come back, believe me.  As an employer we had to pay big dollars to compete, now it is more of an even relationship. mid 30's for a"good" licensed person is the norm with maybe higher dollar mechanics in shop with also higher billable labor rates.

They are only goose poop the first and second time. After I grind them down for the third time, I usually have it down.
