Actual wages are about $20 per hour give or take. Add on to that 6.5% social security. Then add worker comp insurance. Maybe the owner provides health insurance. That would be nice. His cut for that can be $500 to $1000 per month.
Insure the shop. Turn the lights on. Provide air conditioning or heat.
I think about $100 per hour is about right for a little bit of profit.
Now, if they are padding the actual hours worked, that is highway robbery.
Keep track of the hours worked and it's a fair shake.
I try to do all I can myself. There really isn't too much you should have to
pay for, if you can turn a wrench on your own.
If you can find a mom and pop shop with very little overhead, you might bring that hourly rate down.
You might find an even better price from an individually owned mobile RV tech. You can add the convenience of them coming to your door too.
