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

I think my mech is now $140 + GST. Yes, Pedders is $160 but I find they can usually do suspension and steering related stuff quicker, and quite often they can give you a quote so you know what you are up for right at the start.

You will find the $120+ wheel alignments are different to the $90 ones. I got a $120+ alignment done once, and it took the bloke quite a long time because he had to add shims to get the geometry right. The $90 ones won't go through stuff like that. I get the 120+ alignments done once in a while. $90 for quick toe and go.
