Dealer hourly rate
What are you paying for a service hourly rate? I just paid $110/hr.

I thought that out of the per hour deal the mechanic gets a percentage of that. Had to replace shocks on wifes car, dealer wanted $220.00 to change both rear shocks. Asked why so much and was told that the mechanic has to do the job by hand, no power tools at all. I changed the shocks in 30 minutes so saved that money. Was told that the mechanic gets 40 Percent of the labor, which would have been $88.00 for 30 minutes of work. They get the price out of a labor guide. Also some of that money has to go to obama care.
A buddy of mine was a gm tech until about 5 years ago, according to him if the book said a certain repair took 6 hours for example, say he finishes it in 3 1/2, he gets 6 hours of pay but at the 3 1/2 mark when he is done with that job he starts the next job, so in a 8 hour day he might have 10, 12, or more hours on his time card.
