My buddy charges dirt cheap on labor, your first hour is like $50, and everything after is $65/hr, the average shop price is about $100/hr, he is certified in automotive diagnostics and repair, all kinds of certifications, like tranny rebuilding and shit, I'll bring some cards to the next meet I go to, not trying to spam up the thread, I just know I hate being raped at auto shops because I don't have all my own tools, dude is chill too, won't try to pull that dealership shit, "everything needs replaced, you need this, you need that" he'll do the work u asked, and only tell you what's truly necessary, and won't 'bs' you, it'll be up to you if you want it fixed, he specializes in performance as well, swaps, ls/vtec, he can do anything, paint, custom fabrication, you name it
