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.
My time
$60
Per hour. Way less than the dealer.
Because there’s no fancy shop overhead.

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
