Legally underpaid So you think $250k a year is underpaid? In 1982 the avg tech made $8.46 hr, convert that to today, $26.71. Yeah I make a lot more than that. Yeah it's hard to find any young person that wants to do any manual labor, they want to sit at home in front of a computer.

You guys are comparing techs to counter people at AutoZone.
Personally my local NAPA had an old guy who could find anything, if it was available. Got out the old dusty catalogs when necessary. Then he retired. Ugh
Living rural like I do now, I have one local parts store. Luckily he’s old school and pretty knowledgeable. I’ve found it best to do my own research and go into a parts store armed with my own info and part number, then give them the part number myself. Otherwise I order of the internet.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
