GX 470 Repair Costs from a Toyota Dealership (1 Viewer)

Being a tech is hard work. Everyone thinks we make money hand over fist, but the truth is for every week we do well, there’s probably 2 weeks we get hosed.

Perfect example- this week was a 4 day week and I booked 40hrs. That’s great! I averaged 10hrs a day for an 8hr work day. The previous week I had to put an Audi motor in a Q5 that another tech was kind enough to take out and promptly quit. It took me 3 full days to figure that cluster out and get the car back to the customer. So 8x3 is 24hrs, I got paid 13hrs for it. While that’s not the customers fault, realize that the system is flawed and we’re typically just doing our best to keep our heads above water and make a living.

This is so true, regardless who and what dealer you work for. 21 years with multiple dealerships and it's the same merry go round I'm glad I found a job were I just show up for work and do quality work without the penalty. @BlackCat If you still work in dealerships hope you find a way to get out while you can.

I went to Lexus dealer last week (2024.3.13) and had them replaced radiator, timing belt and water pump for a 03 gx470 for 3.5k.
