Mechanic jobs in Scottsdale: FAQs
How much do automotive mechanics make?
The median is about $23.88 an hour, roughly $49,600 a year. Entry-level lube techs start closer to $15 to $20 an hour, while ASE-certified and dealership flat-rate techs can clear $80,000 or more.
Are automotive mechanics in demand?
Yes. Demand is steady and there is a real shortage of trained techs, since older mechanics are retiring faster than new ones are coming in. If you get trained and certified, you will have work.
Do I need a degree to become a mechanic?
No. You do not need a college degree. Many mechanics start as a lube tech or apprentice and learn on the job, then add ASE certifications over time to raise their pay.
How fast can I start working as a mechanic?
You can often start within weeks as an entry-level lube or apprentice tech doing oil changes, tires, and basic service. From there you build skill and certs to move into bigger, better-paying repair work.
