Default Re: What are you people paying for a mechanic per hour?

It all has to do with overheads.

If the workshop is a small operation, with no franchise fees & low rent (outer suburbs or country), then the labour rate can be sub $100 per hour (+gst).

If, on the other hand the operation has office staff, high Sydney type rent & franchise fees then it can be over $200 per hour (+gst).

To equip a modern workshop nowadays, is getting very costly. For example a decent scanner can cost $6,000 - $8,000, plus twice yearly updates. I've run a workshop for nearly 50 years, ask me how I know these things.
