got a few mates on the spanners and it really is hard to say working for a garage one of them earns 300 take home a week, other for himself and its up and down depending on what he brings in and how long it takes how many hours he puts in ect hard graft for not alot of money they all say but i supose if you like it its a great job i personally love being under a motor until after midnight getting dirty as fuck great satisfaction in it fixing and modding stuff good luck fella
