http://www.indeed.com/salary/Automotive-Technician.html

Highest salary was $68,000 for a auto light truck mechanic and lowest was $24,000 for a Tires Plus Automotive technician. Overall average salary was $37,000.

So yeah, "fat chance" seems like a pretty accurate summary.
Unless you are a union mechanic for say the city of chicago. Or even a short haul truck driver for that matter.

Then when adding in benefits including a healthy pension shows you how much the taxpayer is being gouged by these public unions.

Wonder what an idiot punching tickets on the Metra rail line earns? These clowns would have a hard time returning carts for WalMart.
