The majority of people in service businesses - and especially people who work independently - establish an hourly rate. They use a process called “reverse competition” to determine what their rate should be. This involves taking a look at what your geographical competitors are charging, and deciding where in the range you want to fit on the spectrum of hourly rates. Inevitably, we choose a rate somewhere in the middle, so we can say that we’re not the most expensive, but neither are we the cheapest!

Well what is a good mechanic worth these days? You cannot place a value on them simply as labor units as they teach in management school, they are worth more than money. So why not treat them with respect and dignity and pay them what they are worth, we believe that the national averages are too low.
