Even though I am usually the first person to tell mechanics to chase the money, $15 per hour for a 40-hour workweek with weekends off is not a bad place to start in this instance. Under most circumstances that pay would be peanuts but let us remember that you are starting from scratch and they are willing to train you for free. That changes the equation quite a bit. If they do not immediately provide a textbook, I suggest that you should buy one yourself. I recommend an automotive textbook from Duffy or Halderman. Study it alongside whatever training the employer provides and take an active role in your own development. Do not wait for someone else to make you a technician. Once you gain some skills and experience, your pay should start climbing. Within a couple of years, you will be able to start earning ASE Certifications and exploring different job opportunities. By the time you have a few ASE credentials under your belt, you should be earning at least two or three times what you made during that initial $15 per hour training period. Good luck!
