i thought labor was $60 an hour?

my pops had a garage and he used to charge 40 an hour

MSO · October 31st, 2007, 03:25 AM

you're going to pay $180 to fix a light?

*whistles*

nba1341 · October 31st, 2007, 03:36 AM

im asking a question like is this 89.50 an hour rate at this shop for anything they do do you guys think or just engine work?

because i can fix the light myself but i know it probably will ground out again

$90 is labor in general, doesnt matter what they are doing

hello? do we even need to bring up the hood incident?

but seriously, most shops are dicks like that and charge u by how long it's supposed to take, even if it only takes half the time.

For a lot of really easy jobs, some shops will discount the labor rate... but thats only some. You should ask about the labor rate for that specific task...

it's 89.50 shop hour meaning anything they touch

TurboLX · October 31st, 2007, 05:01 PM

depends where you go for work

the average is $90 an hour

our shop is $85 an hour depending on whats getting done

but they average from $50-200

anything lower then $70 or so might try to screw you

Thewolfman456 · October 31st, 2007, 05:03 PM

Thats why I felt someone grab my balls and pull real hard when I brought my daily drive to the shop. Jeez, they got us drivers by the balls.

Vinyl66 · October 31st, 2007, 06:05 PM

thats about the going rate. 80-100 per hour depending where you go

Thewolfman456 · October 31st, 2007, 06:12 PM

Ouch, that guy is still squeezing and twisting. I'm getting rapped by the repair man, HELP!

El_Cangri · October 31st, 2007, 06:53 PM

i'm lucky with my mech..

he is like umm lets see i did this and this.. the ligth were easy to fix but puting a new clutch kit in was a lil work.. 100 bux it is...

Learned that the hard way...I was at a muffler shop getting some dumps made and had them welded to my mufflers. hour and a half later he said that'll be $125, it would have been more but i didnt give you a quote when you walked in...I was seriously looking at spending 50-60 at the most! lol

Now i ask locals if they'll do some welding for me before i go spend that kind of money!

MATT02GT · November 1st, 2007, 12:18 AM
