Audi Flat Rate Guide

Radious total war mod - anniversary edition. The adjustment for determining the amount of income tax withholding for nonresident alien employees doesn't apply to a supplemental wage payment (see section 7) if the 37% mandatory flat rate withholding applies or if the 22% optional flat rate withholding is being used to calculate income tax withholding on the supplemental wage payment.

A ton of great points here. I guess I'll weigh in too. I have been in the industry for 30 years and I hate what it has become. I've worked both independents and many moons ago, dealers. I have been paid hourly, percentage and, flat rate. Any way you slice it, the tech gets screwed.

The better you get, the harder you work. I find that now shops want to hire sub standard techs to 'knock it out' and then the the master tech gets to clean up the mess under the guise of being a 'team player'. I love difficult problems but, I also love getting paid for that. Something I can't stand is the fact that as a professional I have to be certified to work on A/C but, any idiot can walk into AutoZone and get a cheese whiz can of 134a. I am not a big fan of government intrusion or regulation but, there should be some standard. Here in Colorado we have emissions testing and nothing else. When I lived in Kansas City there was a joke of a saftey inspection.

So here in Denver we have tons of cars blowing clean tailpipe numbers with paper thin pads and 1/4 inch play in the lower ball joints. In Missouri people run around hitting on 6 out of 8 and a marginally safe vehicle. In Colorado, the state does the emissions test and the customer can take it anywhere for repairs.

In Missouri shops did the inspection, which took about half an hour andpaid 0.2. When you tell someone they need pads, rotors, lowers and a tie rod end to pass they run to their buddy or some stooge on craigslist to get it fixed.

I think that a person should have to be certified to buy at least saftey related parts. I am sure most of the posters here have seen some amazingly inept repairs done by DIYers and the shade tree crowd.

If ASE is such a badge of professionalism. Make it mean something.

If carbon emissions is such a big deal. Make a national standard.

It would make roads safer, air cleaner and drive up car count while weeding out serious hacks. I have seen some of these shops look for years and never think once about raising the wages up.When someone does finally come in they immediately start in with the 'You don't have your 2018 gas cap certification yet so we don't have to pay you!' Or 'You only have 33 years experience and don't qualify for A level!' Routine.One dumbass told me that they worked on European cars occasionally and my 33 year resume at Ford,Chrysler and GM didn't show any European car experience.He should walk in M/B of San Diego and see all the rookie kids they are charging people a $158 an hour for.They are all delusional!

Everyone in this forum needs to ditch the the dealer ships, and perhaps even the states your working in. I came up as a helper in sc and in 8 years through my independent shop i make 20 an hour flat rate as an ASE certified tech. They didnt pay for my tools but they paid for my certifications (3 of them) I'm 28 years old making 70 to 100 hours a week with no sweat and no comebacks ( thanks to my ocd). If your young and struggling after a year or two I advise you to get out of the business cause it's not for you. Or move into the office with the other people that couldnt make it on the floor.
