I certainly discount the labor! It wouldnt be fair otherwise! Being honest, fair, having an excellent reputation will keep your shop packed with cars.

As for time? Yes, it takes less time to change rotors, But more brake jobs in a day? I get maybe 2-3 brake jobs a week. The rest is usually more complicated stuff

Well good for you, I agree with that theory. Kinda rare here in SoCA. With all the traffic brakes are big business here, I've seen 1 mechanic do 5 cars in 8 hrs. I don't know of any dealerships that still machine rotors.
