1960 to 1970 I owned my own business in a 2 car service station/garage.
Our labor rates were $6.50 per hour, Increased to $7.00 an hour in 1965
much to the crying and hollering of our customers.
I ran a strictly honest place and had an abundance of loyal customers.
Imperial Oil sold the property in 1970 and I left the auto trade.
Back then I could do a 4 wheel brake job (no extras or complications}
for the sum of $24.00 Shoes and labor On GM, Ford, Dodge or Plymouth.

Things have not changed all that much. You can get 4 wheels none now
for as low as $500.
