How to Read the Table and Evaluate Offers
Data format: ₪ gross per month, full-time (unless stated otherwise). In Auto/Moto, it is crucial to clarify the pay model: fixed + bonus, “standard hours”, percentage of jobs, or pure piecework.
What to Clarify in the Interview
- Pay model: fixed / piecework / fixed+bonus.
- How the bonus is calculated: standard hours, percentage of jobs/sales, service targets.
- Schedule: overtime, Fridays, Shabbat (if applicable).
- Tools and conditions: who provides tools/uniform/training.
- Service type: dealership, private garage, chain — strongly impacts income.
How We Collect Data on work.co.il
Salary ranges on our pages are built using a comprehensive approach to provide a practical “market range” by role and experience level.
What We Consider in the Methodology
- Market statistical benchmarks — baseline framework by roles and salary distribution.
- Role segmentation — different roles within the same service can be incomparable by workload.
- Position level and experience — split by tenure and responsibility.
- Adjustments to real hiring — to keep the “top of the range” achievable and typical.
- Aggregated feedback — summarized user inputs to refine estimates.
When the Table May Not Be Relevant
- Part-time or short-hour schedules.
- Pure piecework — results depend on workload (and can be above or below the “range”).
- Mobile/on-site work — often has different economics.
- Rare specialization (diagnostics/electronics/bodywork) — wider market spread.
- Large differences by region and service type.
Examples: “Within Market or Not”
Example 1: Car Washer (1–3 years)
Offer: 8,100 ₪ gross. Range for 1–3 years: 7,500–8,200 ₪. Conclusion: within market, closer to the upper bound.
Example 2: Auto Electrician (6+ years)
Offer: 12,000 ₪ gross. Range for 6+ years: 11,500–12,500 ₪. Conclusion: within market. Clarify bonuses and workload (diagnostics / job complexity).
Example 3: Car Mechanic (0 years)
Offer: 9,000 ₪ gross. Range for 0 years: 8,500–9,500 ₪. Conclusion: within market. Check whether it is fixed pay or part of a piecework model.
