Most shops are around $60/hr, dealerships are $80+/hr. Unless you do an under-the-table/side job arrangement, you will be charged "book time", a pre-determined amount of time that the job should take. It may be a 1 hr job in your mind, but may "book" out to be 3 hrs. Thats how mechanics make money, the faster they are, the more they make.
