$75 per hour and it all depends on the job really some jobs you just can't charge that for.

We did an intake the other day took 15min start to finish. Hard to charge $75 for that

The dealership I work for charges $75/hour. I make $21.50 of that.
Minimum diagnostic time of 1/2 hour.
Flat rate on everything....unless the customer is standing right there (then it's twice that j/k).

At home I charge $30/hour and I'm busy all the damn time.

Our shop rate is $45.00 an hour.

I do not have any minimums and I do not charge for diagnostics.

On basic installs like intakes, exhaust, chips, stacks etc. etc. I have a flat rate sheet for each job.

With the onsite Wrecker Service we do alot of breakdowns for travelers. I could jump the price up for those sort of jobs but I live by the Golden Rule and people are just amazed at how small their bills usually are. I had a customer last week that just could not believe how cheap his bill was and he tried giveing me a pretty big tip but I would not except of course. He was really amazed when I called his cell phone that night to check and make sure they had made it home ok.

There ain't anything I hate more then shops that see big $$$ signs when a out of stater gets towed to their shop. I can not stand people that take advantage of anyone especially when they are in a pinch.
