What's a good hourly rate for services?

For a well respected and established auto services provider.

 

I'm just shocked how much I've been quoted for some ecu wiring and auto work. I mean I'm sure it would be totally worth it. But I'm just asking for a general idea. I've not had decent auto work engine wise done for a while.

Yeah totally understand you're paying per job rather than an actual hourly rate.

 

Was estimated a few days. So not talking an hour or two.

 

I suppose my only concern is things can get out of hand real quick if there's an issue.

 

I'm just curious really. It's always hard to estimate most jobs I know that. But interesting to see the different prices.

 

I'm sure it would be fine. I'm just asking before I dive in.

Depends on the business type, and setup. As a sole trader, I charge £25ph in the building industry for labour only, and aim to make the same when doing the custom fibreglass/carbon fibre stuff on the side. I have a small workshop that doesn't cost me very much for the latter stuff, but I also use it to store my building tools so I tend not to think of it as an overhead per se

 

If I was running a business with staff, premises, rates, bills, vat, etc etc then it could quite easily double.
