I think I have a good offer for Lahalte and the other members in Florida who don't have time or the means to do their basic maintenance. If buy me the round trip airline ticket, I'll come do it for free. ( Winter months only.) I think that is a fair trade. I get out of the cold winter in Idaho and you get your maintenance done for less than shop labor.

I agree with most of you.I know that there are a lot of cost associated with having a business.I had one.But if you work on a car for 20 minutes or 30 and you charge that customer 1h30 that is dishonest.When I had a business, time done was time paid.Why does a different garage charge so much less with the same cost?Maybe they are honest.Honesty will get you more business and people will respect and encourage you.I have never felt this way with 45 years of owning cars.Maybe my gut feelings are right.I dealt with Champion Porsche before I moved and the prices seemed fair and reasonable for a dealer.Thank you all for the input

The dealership here in Charlotte had a special for a very long time, think it was 85/hr on 2003 and older cars. I agree a business owner needs to be honest about the time, if it doesn't cover the bills then raise the hourly rate.

they charge more per hour than i make per hour so it makes sense to do as much of the work i can.
