Pricing
$60 an hour. That’s it.
I keep things simple, $60/hr for my time, plus parts at cost. You’ll know the price before I start. No surprises, no upsells, no nonsense.
Labour
$60
Per hour. Way less than the dealer.
No fancy shop overhead to pay for.
MB Safety
$100
Flat rate, light vehicles. Certificate same day.
I’m authorized to do them.
Alignment
$75
Flat rate, on a proper alignment rack at a partner shop.
Stock, lowered, or lifted, all welcome.
Got a quote somewhere else?
Bring me your estimate. I’ll price competitively against it.
Show me what the shop or dealer wrote up and I’ll work out a fair number for the same job, parts and labour broken out, no games.

These are ballpark starting points for common vehicles. Yours could be more or less depending on the situation, I’ll always give you a real number before starting.
What you always get
- ◆A look at the vehicle before any work starts
- ◆A clear price written out
- ◆Old parts back if you want them
- ◆A receipt with what was done and what it cost
What I won't do
- ◆Start work you didn't say yes to
- ◆Quote a price without seeing the vehicle
- ◆Push services you don't need
- ◆Hide anything in the bill
