Labor rates are local. Based on competition, rents, amortizing of equipment, costs of labor, etc. If in Md, it could be in the DC suburbs and rents there are expensive. Housing for the labor too. Very competitive for labor so those costs are high too.
My DC area P-car mechanic owned his building and went out of business when someone came along and wanted the real estate. He could retire to the country where living was cheap and go racing instead. He did a 90k service for me on a '01S TIP which includes a trans fluid change.
