I use the higher labor rate to weed out the folks/cars I don’t want to werk for or own..
Normally when one ask my labor rate I price it high to run’em off. Several different ways to look at rates, for sum no matter how low it izz they kin not afford it so what difference does the rate make they kin not afford cheap or high rates. For sum the labor rate does not matter as long as they feel they are gittin sum’in for their money, sum it don’t matter as long as its fixed rite the first time, its hard to put a dollar amount on that. The guys that werk cheap and don’t git’er’done help me git the big bucks. I say jump rite on in and go to werk you surly are not gonna hurt the real professional mechanic, you mite even help when your customers see cheap will not git’em done. No matter how cheap you werk your customers are gonna expect the same quality as the over paid mechanic’s give.

If you have a back up Real job then you could werk fer minimum wage look’em in the eye and feel good. Only take on meat and gravy jobs and leave the bones fer the guys that git the big bucks. What folks don’t look at izz if they make $20 hr at their real job they don’t see the back side of their pay were it may cost the employer $20 hr more to keep’em on the pay roll time you figger in benefits& tax’izz Your real job could be worth $40 A hr. so now you @ $30 you would be better off to werk overtime on yer real job and come out way ahead.

The more I look at it why did’in sumone had me a hammer and nail apron when I wuz young and explain to me you git all the roofers holidays off. No other tools to buy you keep all you make, you cover up all yer mistakes

When you figger out how to charge fer every hour you werk on sumones vehicle let me know I then may be better off @ $30 a hr.
