Mechanic salary cvrt

malinheader

Has anyone a rough idea what the salary of the mechanic doing the testing in a cvrt centre is.
I don't know if there is a difference in light van testing or heavy commercials but I am interested in finding out the wages of someone testing light commercials.

CVRT centres are independently owned so it will vary from garage to garage and county to county but it probably wouldn't be any more than the one advertised here. This centre works until 1 or 2 am which is probably reflected in the offer.

Thanks. Roughly around €15 euro an hour for mechanic.
Can't understand why it would take another €100 an hour to run a centre.
Must be the biggest rip off in the country.
But is anyone really surprised.

Is that just one mechanic,who doesn't take holidays or cost employers prsi,uses no electricity,costs no rates,has no management,doesn't use any tools or consumables,works in a rent free premises and pays no commercial liability insurance?
You're right 100% rip off.

So what is your opinion. It takes over €100 per hour for rates, consumables and rents etc. Correct.

It could easily, it also has to pay the salaries of other people need for the business like support staff and profit is needed too remember so the owner can draw a wage and bank money for investment, rainy day etc.

I work in a different area but we would charge significant overheads on any job we price up as it costs a lot to maintain a business in the background that people don’t think off.

€111 euro for test. Failed so have to go back. Another €48 euro. €160 for yearly test. Totally a rip off to me.
Someone was telling me it's half the price in Northern Ireland. Don't know myself but would sound more sensible.

40k a year for 40 hrs a week,with holiday pay and employers prsi is over €26 an hour,not 15.

They don’t get paid as much in Northern Ireland.

Another test at less than half the price means more time not being able to take in money from another booking.

Right so.still over €80 an hour after labour. Nice little earning for someone. Still think it's a top off for a small van.

This has no bearing on me having to pay double the price. Total rip off.

If you ignore every other cost thats been listed in the thread........


Did you go in to a non CVRT garage and get them to test everything on the test to compare costs? ( minus the specific CVRT related costs)

Do you also do this for everything you spend money on?

The costs associated with providing the thing you're getting has no bearing on the cost of the thing?

The equipment used by them is also very expensive.

That's only 94 ex vat.

Not be long paying for it though at these prices. Sure it's well covered.

Well covering your costs is literally the point of business.You have a commercial vehicle but don't appear to have the first notion of running a business.

This may come as a shock to you, but it isn’t all about you.

Businesses need money to run, they need to cover their costs and make a profit in order to make them viable. Without this, they won’t be open and you’ll have no one to provide the service to you.

Know plenty about running a business. Know when I'm being ripped off too .
Perhaps you are benefiting from the knock on affects from the tests, who knows hey.

Total lack of understanding of how a business works in here

also I dont think the test center get the full €94. There is a government levy I think included in this. Not sure how much but something to consider

EDIT ​​Please note that the full test fee includes a levy element that is not subject to VAT. FROM cvrt.ie

No vat is applied on the proportion of the fee passed on to the RSA (i.e. the road safety levy)

Right. That's what I was trying to find out. So the government has a levy- tax built into the fee.
So it's another hidden tax we are paying and the centre is not getting the whole cut.

If you are running a business you will also be writing this off against you tax bill and possibly reclaiming the vat too so you should be according for this when quoting what it cost you.

Not a mechanic, but when my company charge customers for my time, it's in the hundreds of euro per hour.

I see very little of that, and the company aren't making ridiculous profits either. If they did, someone else would undercut the.

€111 for an hour's labour + business cost is not insane by any means.

Straight up the M1 then and move up there with you.
You will also need to consider the lower wages in NI, lower insurance costs in NI and lower cost of living in NI.

Failing all of that. If you think you can run a business on less then it’s a free market.

The levy appears to be €24 !

air

There are 2 levies, one of €24 & another of €2.
The real issue is funding quangos like the RSA.
The test itself is €68.86 ex VAT

Like the NCT I think the CVRT is great value for a comprehensive & independent check.

As has been mentioned, the mechanics salary cost is heading for €25 an hour based on the quoted salary including employers prsi etc.

Not a business I'd be looking to get into based on those numbers!

Like the previous poster said a big part is the rsa levy - jobs for the boys in the quangos. It came in about 5 years ago iirc.
A trucker was telling me he had his artic trailers registered up north , the doe up there is £19 compared to e150 here iirc, can't remember the exact price but the difference was bananas.
Just another levy on businesses really.
