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.

You’ve probably seen that Lizard Ford guy online the one always talking about the factory side of things. Strikes, contracts, solidarity… all that. The truth is, he only talks about that side because that side actually fights back. The union guys on the line have structure, leverage, and a voice. Meanwhile, the dealership techs the flat rate soldiers are the ones holding the brand together with no backup, no representation, and no respect.
This episode breaks down exactly why dealership mechanics/ technicians don’t have a voice, how the flat rate system keeps us divided, and what “fighting back” really looks like inside a dealership. It’s not about picket signs it’s about finally saying no to the free labor, the unpaid diagnostics, and the silence that’s been eating this trade alive.
Because the truth is, they’ll listen when we stop saying yes.
