But for reference, major auto shops charge about $80 an hour and the
mechanics make less than $20. I think you have fallen into that old trap
of thinking that your experience is universal.


They are in the wrong neighborhood. Around here, they all make $20 and up.
Of course $20 with a flat rate manual can still get you $70K a year.


Ahh yes. The flat rate manual. That's how the
little boys make money. charge about 1/2 the time
as the flat rate manual and still make out like a
bandit.
