mine charges $88/hr.

 

Dunno. I never take anything to a dealer unless it's for warranty. They charge too much by the hour, charge too much for all the "shop supplies" and crap, and frequently don't do good work. No offense to any of you guys who work at dealerships, but you know what I mean. Although I have known some first rate dealer service depts as well. If it's something I don't want to do myself (rare) I use an independent shop.

 

Yep, me too. Although an oil change for $19.95 is worth the money for the time and hassle of doing it yourself. I'd imagine their labor rate is up there! I'm learning more and more that DIY is the way to go if you can or find/make a friend who can!

 

100, the Lexus dealer is like 90

the maintenance work is not priced bad at all, if you take the price of all the fluids and filters plus all the waste oil they deal with and the mess I don't mind

 

I work @ Wheel Works which is basically a repair shop that does mainly tires, but almost anything, and they are ultimately owned by Bridgestone/Firestone

we charge $85/hour for labor

 

We charge $80 an hour,but we always offer coupons and such or there is a reduced rate for normal maint. ,i.e.- a front brake job w/ rotor machining costs $169,but the factory pads are 60+ bucks and the tech's flag 2.5 hours.At 80 a hour that would come to 200 alone.

 

Too damn much!

Fortunately I don't go there too often. And I think I'm gonna start going there less in the future.

 

They still charge by the Bag or the Rock around here.


Sorry, I had to do it.

 

$105/hr here! Can you freakin believe that crap?
