The most per hour that an Auto Mechanic can charge for work perforned?
Asked by Iinformative
Is there a federal regulation that states that an Auto Mechanic hourly wages can not be less than _________or more than ________. Please fill in the blanks for me.

Best Answer:
There are no limitations for independent mechanics, but they will usually let you know what the time and parts will cost up front and should let you know if that price changes along the way. If you go to a dealership, they usually work off of "book-time." That means that every process has a time value assigned to it. Like if replacing a water pump has a time value of 1 hour and the labor rate is $60/hr, you pay parts cost plus $60. The mechanic increases his rate by how fast he performs the work. So if he changes it out in 30 minutes, its the same as the mechanic making 120/hr because essentially he could do 2 hours of book time in one hour of the day. In this scenario, the fee never changes for you. If I knew a little more about your situation I might could give a little more targeted answer. Good Luck!

Don't know where you are from but in America you can charge as little or as much as you like. One can always just go to another mechanic if you don't like the price.

No limit. That would interfere with free enterprise and healthy competition. You really wouldn't want to place limits on your safety would you? Just remember, you get what you pay for. If I drove a Ferrari or any other exotic, I certainly wouldn't want some federally mandated low income earner to be working on my car. Same thing applies to less expensive cars to a lesser degree. Same thing applies to your doctor. It may differ in other countries, but as long as the US sticks to it's fundamentals, this will always be the case. This give us the right to chose between low price/poor quality and high price/high quality and everything in between which is how it should be.... Freedom of choice.
