Flat Rate Tech Podcast
If you are an Automotive Mechanic or in the industry this is the show for you! The #1 automotive mechanic podcast! We talk about the good and the bad.
Flat rate is broken. We’re done staying quiet.
The Flat Rate Tech Podcast is the raw, unfiltered voice of real dealership and independent shop technicians. Hosted by a working flat rate tech and the author of Flat Rate Life—the book that exposes what it’s really like to survive in this trade—this podcast pulls back the curtain on the automotive industry.
Every week, we call out the truth behind flat rate pay, toxic shop politics, unpaid diagnostic time, tool debt, burnout, and the constant pressure to “just hit your hours.”
If you're a tech, mechanic, or service advisor who's tired of the lies, this one's for you.
No sponsors. No filters. No corporate polish. Just the truth.

Professionalism in a Broken System
In a trade full of broken pay plans, flat rate pressure, and corner-cutting techs, what does professionalism even mean anymore?
This episode of Flat Rate Life goes straight into the bays—where real technicians are still showing up, doing it right, and trying to survive in a system that rewards the wrong things. Whether you're at a dealership, indy shop, or looking to leave the auto industry altogether, this one’s for you.
Because no matter how crooked the system gets… you can still choose to be a professional anyway. Or not.
