I wonder if that hourly rate includes the tools and building expenses too? I wonder what the service manager makes? Or, maybe he is a workcamper?

Our dealer charges $65 per hour which covers the techs wages, electricity, building payment/ expenses, supplies (not charged), tools / lifts etc. that are not owned by the mechanic, insurance, taxes, the list goes on........... Our dealer does not have a service manager, but them too.......

Nobody knows where you live, but I would guess the tech does not make much an hour.

I install fire sprinklers for a living, I know about what my employer charges to have me do something at a building for a few hours, we all have to make a living.

You are probably right, but the dealership is in an old 1970s VW dealership building that sat empty for years so the building cost is minimal, the area unemployment rate is still high so wages are probably low & the whole dealership has 4 total full time employees, the owner & the 2 sales people (also they do the trailer prep work) also work service when needed.
