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.

NEW MERCH https://tech-shop.fourthwall.com/
Managers love to ask why they can’t keep new hires but the answer’s right in front of them. In this episode, I break down what really happens when a motivated tech walks into a dealership and gets thrown into the bay with no support, no communication, and nothing but lies from the interview. From foremen being left out of the process to shops expecting techs to train their own replacements for free, it’s no wonder guys walk out as fast as they walk in.
We’ll talk about the lies, the egos, the NPC new hires, and why the system keeps eating its own. And yeah I’ll have some fun calling out the “top 1%” techs and the podcast clout-chasers too.
This one’s for every tech who’s seen a new guy show up, sit at a toolbox all day, and disappear a week later.
