I have been curious as what the average wage would be for tuner? 50k year? Less or more. I have searched the web and can't find much info

well a tuner woud come nder the MVRIC and MTA in NSW and is clasified as a motor mechanic the award wage is about 38000 a yearand good tech could ask for over 50000

i was thinking about this earlier in the week say 500/tune on average 1.5 tunes a day if your in a good business work 5 days a week your looking at 7.5 * 500 = $3,750/week turn over minimal cost because dyno maintenance if you were a good tuner you could ask for a bit based on that

Two of you could have a crack at your business if you could keep costs down and still get the consistant sales? $195,000 per year sales less rent $60,000 pa less $7000 or 7% interst pa on $100,000 equiptment finance less Wages for 2 people $100,000 pa then Super Anuation 2 people $9,000pa Taxes? $28000 Accountant $4,000pa less public liability insurance 4,000pa less fire and theft 4,000pa

I have a small mechanic shop and always thought about going more into performance. Tuning that is. If I ever did go down that road i would prob want to employ someone who has good tuning knowledge in most of the common ecu's and hp tuner ect. Would be good to have an idea how much they get and how hard it would be to find someone.

There's definately money to be had for someone who can get results and who is customer focussed in this industry. People are sick of paying money hand over fist for incomplete work and poor service. The main thing would be getting enough cars in and out the door constantly.
