My local NORMAL diesel shop here is $215 an hour
Thanks for the input everyone, those that said Corporate would say kick rocks were correct. They wont cover any of the water intrusion repair or related damage. The dealer however said they would cover half so thats what I am gonna go with. Shop rates are a helluva lot higher than I expected, takes some of the sting away knowing that.
Is there damage to the interior?
Know the tech through my brother. Maybe he's gotten a bump since then but he has been there for a bit.
None that I could find when I was getting under the carpet aside from some rusty hardware, just the water I drained and moisture that I removed. All of the submerged wiring that runs in that channel appeared to be completely sealed with no connections that I could find. There was no residual mildew/mold that I could find after a few weeks and I wasnt told of any further damage by the dealer.
Good. If there was, I would've suggested making an insurance claim.
My local ford store is 25-30 an hr for techs and 109hr for gas and 129hr for diesel...service writters 400 a week lol
When i was writer there 10 years ago was 20- 25 hr, 79hr gas 99hr diesel...not sure what writers get now
That's a lower rate than the shop I came from who had just upped their rates to $178/hr and upped it again to $183. Dealers, specifically a Volvo dealer not far away is charging $199/hr and I think some dealers are over $200 now.
Most jobs are expensive now and $1000 repair is on the low end. Water leaks are indeed tricky and I usually oversold them to prepare the customer so I could come back way less if it went better than expected.
my friends performance shop is $150/hour, my glass shop is $65-$125 depending on in shop, mobile, USL&H, etc.. we don't charge enough labor, but insurance keeps you bound to around $35/hour..
Around here it's $165 but going up, and some insurance companies are still trying to pass off $129 as the average. Its BS though cause all of the big companies have accepted the $165 rate as the average. I might have been wrong on that Volvo dealer also. I think it might actually be $299/hr. I heard someone say it a while back and $200 seemed really high but if the other luxury brands are in the $300-400 range already then I think it was on that higher end.
Anywhere from $125-250.
Was that under factory warranty or an extended warranty? Factory 3/36 is way different than any extended warranty
400 a week sounds like a base pay plus commission. When I worked for ford we were paid a base of something like 400-500 a week for showing up plus commission on parts and tech hours. Current job has $0 base pay all commission but it works in my favor as long as I keep myself busy.
That’s just rape and pillage, when I was a service manager not all that long ago our door rate was 2.5 times the labour burden rate, that’s wages and benefits costs. So a tech making 25.00/hr add in benefits, maybe 12.00/hr 37.00x2.5 = 92.50/hr make it an even 100/hr and they are still making money
No comission for the writters then...parts got comission...if we were lucky we got a bonus each month of 200 to 400 bucks lol
Glad i left when i started nursing school in 2009 lol
Benefit costs have probably doubled in the last 5 years.
I have been out of that game about that long, thanks for the update
