?? Attract More Students to Your Program with Real Technician Pay Data
WrenchWay and ASE - National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence have partnered to offer more accurate data on technician pay. Unlike other sources that combine unrelated roles and fail to account for total compensation, our tool provides a more accurate picture of the true earning potential of technicians.
Help attract more students to your program by adding our Online Pay Tool to your website. This tool makes it easy for students to filter technician pay data by industry, shop type, location, and years of experience.
How to Add the Online Pay Tool to Your Website:
To embed the Pay Tool on your website, have your school's web developer simply copy and paste the following iframe code into the HTML or code editor on the webpage you want it displayed on:
