And a link to a chart with average salaries for various auto mechanic positions:

Highest salary was $68,000 for a auto light truck mechanic and lowest was $24,000 for a Tires Plus Automotive technician. Overall average salary was $37,000.

So yeah, "fat chance" seems like a pretty accurate summary.

I have no idea where they came up with that figure. It sounded pretty high to me but I figured that the author knew what he was talking about since he had to do research for the story.
