Questions and answers
How many retirement plans are there in automotive body, paint, interior, & glass repair?

The median defined contribution plan reported $22,513 in net assets per participant (middle half of plans: $12,107 to $29,444); nationally it was $53,031. This is a plan-level average that includes former employees, not a typical person's balance.
What do employers contribute in automotive body, paint, interior, & glass repair?
The median defined contribution plan received $1,096 in employer contributions per active participant, against $2,174 nationally. Plans with no employer contribution are included at zero.
What are average 401(k) fees in automotive body, paint, interior, & glass repair?
Among defined contribution plans that report any Schedule C compensation, the median was $88.02 per participant and 0.43% of net assets (nationally $123 and 0.26%). Schedule C leaves out fund expense ratios and fees the employer pays, so it understates total cost.
