I've almost finished my first year $5.40 I get an hour and usally take home $220 a week after tax.
You do get do drive good cars a bit of the time, I've spanked a Westfield, HG 454block ute, heaps of nice merc's, convertable alfa new and old, but then you have to drive the shitters
I had to on monday test drive a camira, it was rooted, blowing so much smoke, it broke down on me so I had to hike it back to the workshop 
the worse thing that I have found is that my skin reacts to the handcleaner, sorry all handcleaners, I have to use a barrier cream to stop rashes, it sucks!!.
I work in a small garage workshop at the moment,(few workshops around that my boss owns and I go here and there), you will deffinatly learn more about mechanics if you don't work in a dealership. I love getting cheap parts ordered in at trade price. I save about $20 on brakepads than what you would buy retail.
But in all essense, Everyone wouldn't work if they didn't get paid, therefore we all find reasons to hate our job or complain about.
If it's what you want to do, do it.
I go through group training australia here in brisbane, look around and see what more info you can get.
I've learnt so much in one year and still haven't gone to tafe.
