Methodology and Sources
Listing figures are computed from every active, paid tire technician listing on AutoTechHires at the time shown, and refreshed every six hours.
Listings on a job board are not a random sample of all tire technician jobs, so read them as a picture of current hiring, not of total employment.
This page is published only while the live sample has at least 300 listings from 25 employers.
Advertised pay is the midpoint of the range an employer posts, or its single figure, and hourly and annual postings are never converted into each other.
The headline is the employer median: each employer’s own median, then the median across employers, so a group posting hundreds of openings counts once.
A pay figure needs at least 30 listings from 10 employers and is withheld when one employer posted more than half of them.
