Prices Can Vary Per Job/Vehicle
I charge a flat labor rate per job not hourly. I've been doing this a long time and have become very efficient.
I complete most jobs in half the time shops do.
Please collect the parts first.
And you must have a place to work on the vehicle! Nothing fancy just safe and out of the street (Example your home driveway)
Then we can setup an appointment.
Most days I work 9am to 9pm and have multiple repair jobs lined up in different towns.
I cannot waste time and chase parts!
I do offer professional advice on what parts you need to fix the vehicle, and anything I don't end up needing can be returned to the store.
It keeps everything running smoothly.

Investors! Looking to repair and sell a personal or auction vehicle? (Trade Labor for % of final sale price. You provide parts.)
Minimum cost is $50 for me to show up diagnose and/or fix an issue. If you have parts the $50 is included in the labor fee.
I am fair and honest when it comes to price and getting you safe on the road.
When I diagnose your car for the first time I can give you a complete list of issues and what parts you need to fix such issues.
