They asked my salary range, what should I say?, mechanic here

A recruiter asked for my salary expectations on a first call as I look for work as a mechanic. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. I do not want to price myself out. What did you say?

Asking about the range for the role first worked for me. Some recruiters share it.

Benefits matter too. A slightly lower rate with better coverage was better for me.
