Auto mechanics make about 1/2 of what heavy equipment/ big truck mechanics make. If you figure that most garages charge per hour ( a good average shop rate in my area is $80 per hour, now even if the mechanic gets 1/2 that its still only $40 per hour and that on average is going to be your best paid top notch grease monkey.

I have Had employee’s that could make 55k yearly, this is in a Dodge dealership and these people were very hard workers as well as knowledgeable.
I would imagine if you took the same caliber of people and put them in a pit crew they could have exceeded 200k yearly.
If these people were put in a Ferrari dealership they may exceed 200k as well.
The person who owns a repair facility should make 70% of the adjusted aggregated profit of labor sales, parts are another aspect in profit.
