At $100 plus an hour - why hurry?
That's what the shop charges. The technician may be on a piece rate or max commission per repair type or a combination of both. Many shops rate their techs on how many they can turn in a day. Some shops have specialized techs who only do certain repairs and get paid a flat fee per unit. Production is key and the shop $100/per hr is not based on actual time but bookable time. Some techs can book 15 hrs in a 8 hr day because they are fast and good(won't last long if fast and bad.) This is no different than the auto service industry which has a flat rate manual for a repair stating the time to repair and the charge rate. If a technician can fix it faster they make more money because they still charge the rate and the technician goes on to the next repair. The mobile tech has to make money on his time alone, so they are usually more efficient and move on to the next but they still base their rate on bookable hours.
