Labor Costs...

[MK1Scirocco16v at comcast.net (Dave Ewing)]

Most dealers around here charge about $100 per hour and it goes down from
there (I think BMW Mercedes etc. charge about $120).  People freak out when
I do something for them and then tell them what the dealer would charge.
Did a 90K mile service on a 2000 Beetle and charged $425 with parts when the
dealer charged $1200!
