I’ve gotten to know the service director at a large Nissan dealer in DFW pretty well. Our kids go to school together.
I asked him if it’s decent pay and he said the last 5 years he hasn’t made under 200k. Said last year was over 250.
The hours suck and dealing with customer service but he said if you get with a large dealership the pay is very good. Also said most his techs on the floor make 6 figures.

I was a police officer worked a lot of nights, and made more as a Mack Mechanic in 80’s and 90’s on first shift.
Government job was for my retirement.
Diesel mechanic job paid the bills.
I started as oil changer and did PM’s which gave me extra money to save for a house.
Then the dealer sent me to school on their dime.
At first buying tools was rough and bought used beat up tool box.
It got better and I made very good money as a diesel tech.
A good service advisor does well.
It’s the ability to explain why things need to be done and how to sell it.

Must not be that lucrative at all places.
For the last few months, two dealers near me have had signs out front begging for people to take tech jobs. They've also run billboards looking for techs, no experience needed.
