I know most mechanic shop rates where i'm at are well over $100.00 some perhaps as high as $150.00 per hour.I take it this is the question.
I fix stuff myself. Some of the prices quoted here are crazy high IMO.
$100 an hour is pretty expensive. I won't get that in a shop and I am a crack mechanic. I surely can't ask it for electronics repairs. Alot of electronic repairs is research, cross referencing and ordering parts. How could you charge 100/hr for that?
This fellow left here a few years ago but he was also the only repair shop in town so perhaps he felt he could charge whatever he liked? I do know he was in business for close to 20 years before he left, kinda of an odd duck though, nice enough but for example you brought in something he didnt like working on it may well sit for a year or two before getting fixed, now on the other hand if it was a make and model he liked service was quick usually within a month or so.Any repair tech who is really charging $100/hr won't be in business too long.
