An evaporator replacement under #warranty on a #toyota #tacoma pays 4.3 hrs.
So if this takes you 2 days to replace properly, you only got paid 4.3hrs of work for those 2 days. Warranty times need to be updated for numerous reasons or flat rate needs to be removed.

This had to be repaired three times on my 2018 honda civic , I was shocked . All the hard work these mechanics had to do over and over . Car ended up a lemon and was sold.

While I was apprenticing my tech got 3 faulty evaporate cores in a row. He found out every time after they came back for low refrigerant. Had to have a engineer come out to verify. They eventually sent one that wasn’t faulty. I guess there was a problem during manufacturing them so they sent one from a different year manufacturer

I totally agree that the pay system is fucked, but you wasted a lot of time removing the skin off the dash beam. Could have left that on and just unbolted the beam from the fire wall with the skin still on.

Totally insane! All engineers and 'bean counter's' should be required to work on what they've designed.

Got out of that business like 2 years ago after 20 years. You literally need to have a rocket science degree to work on this new cars and expect you to know every single part and knowhow for cheap labor. People coming into this field are opening their eyes to this nightmare.

In a dealership, 4.3hrs if the advisor is new, AND its a warranty job. A customer pay or insurance job pays significantly more. Btw, it takes a seasoned tech abt 1.5 hrs to get the heater core out of a Taco. Js

Yep. Meanwhile, HVAC technicians are making 25-30 dollars an hour as an apprentice and 150,000+ as a technician.

First question I have is why is the evaporator failing. Rarely an evaporator fails, it's not seeing nearly as high pressure as a condenser if it's a leak. If it's plugged then someone introduced that into the system during install or didn't clean the ports before charging.

This is the reason why I decided to be an engineer. Turning renches is more interesting sure, but getting treated like a slave is way worse than sitting in a office doing slave paperwork.

" All this pays is 4.3 hours ", so say the mechanic makes $150....then the service manager tells the customer oh that's a $1200 job. Service manager gets a nice commission and the owner gets 70% of the $1200. And dealers wonder Y a lot of people hate them

💯 this is why I left flag time at dealerships and went hourly in heavy equipment. The money is better the hours or almost the same the work is slightly harder more stressful at times just due to being newer to equipment and it’s heavier larger but for someone who loves being a mechanic look into fleet or equipment even diesel they pay hourly.
@hksjoshua 28 күн бұрын
It's because to be a real mechanic people expect free shit and free services. I quit being a mechanic because people are idiots and there is nothing that can stump me. My nickname was gizmo during my wrenching years for a reason lol.

A simple oil change has became a pain. 20 10mm bolts to remove a splash gaurd, because the car company didnt think it was important to make oil filter and drain plug access.

Yup, that's exactly why I quit doing that "professionally" 25 years ago. I was in my early 20's making $10 dollars an hour and on a good week I'd make $175 bucks. That was way back in the mid to late 90's and I couldn't even afford to move out of my grandparents basement, much less raise a family....

Those Tacoma dashes are easy as hell though. I had a blower motor connector get fried and insurance said do the whole harness. Quoted 8 hours because I couldn’t find a time and I tell you what I did the entire dash harness out AND in within 2 hours. Absolutely blew my mind how easy it came apart
