The $100K Wrench: How to Become a Successful Appliance Repair Technician
Ten years in a factory. Then I asked the guy at the trash dump if I could take the appliances people were throwing away.
Two dryers and two washers. I fixed one working set and sold it for $300 on Facebook. Today I make over $100K a year as an appliance repair technician — and one of my coworkers cleared $200K last year.
The $100K Wrench is everything I learned getting here, written down for the person who's where I was.

• How to get paid properly: trip fees, labor, 10–50% parts markup, flat rate vs. hourly
• W-2 commission, contract, and independent paths — and which pays best
