Default Car repair billing rates online?
A co-worker wants me to do a timing belt in his 89 Civic. Is there a source online for the billable hours this job usually requires?

Also, how easy of a job is this? I can't imagine it being difficult

Just call a dealership and ask one of their service writers.

Well, I thought about that. But I wouldn't mind getting into more service type work later on since the money is good. Instead of calling a dealership every time I want to quote a price, I'd like to find a source of my own. I may just keep an eye out on the newsgroups for the Mitchell software.

Call the dealership, ask for a repair quote, then ask them how that breaks down = hourly billing rate

i think he is asking more what the billable hours are for a certain job as opposed to the hourly billing rate...

all i know of is the software that you can purchase that will tell you billable hours for all jobs on all cars...

I think the timing belt book at work says 3 hours.
