Hi Todd, It’s a good time to come into the auto collision industry. The fact of the matter is there are not a lot of new people entering the industry, however this would give you a world of opportunity to get the experience and certifications required and place your self in a position of demand.

My comment are based on the assumption your interest is in auto collision production work such as (body, prepper detailer) technician, but keep in mind there’s lots of other areas that make up the collision repair industry.

As a technician you could make your self a decent living but it could always be better… the hours you work depends on the company you work with and their compensation structure. On average hourly 40 to 50 hrs per week – Flat Rate average 50 to 70 hrs, now keep in mind there are fluctuating variables that impact your wages.
