Intervention Needed

April might be good. People will have an instant down payment and many will replace their car.

How does commission in service departments work?

Thanks for POTDing this. I wouldn’t have seen it otherwise.

Weird. It's like no other industry makes money based off what they sell.

I certainly don't begrudge them for their system. As a consumer, I just think it's important to understand the

You don't see a difference between a normal paycheck and commission?

I completely see the difference. I live it every day. I don't think you see it though.

I do all my own work but state inspections because mechanics are all crooks.

Well, since you're so open-minded, theres really no point in discussing things.

Most auto dealer employees are commission/piece rate.

The way the OP was worded, it sounded like he was pay and commission before

Most auto technicians are paid solely on piece rate/commission. If they don't work on a car, they don't get paid.

I'm in the market but dealers don't seem very motivated.
