What are the posted labor rates?
These are the retail rates. Insurance billed work may be written at carrier negotiated rates that differ, and we will show you where before authorizing anything.
| Rate | Amount | Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Body and paint | $210 per hour | Panel, structural and refinishing labor |
| Mechanical and electrical | $260 per hour | Systems, wiring, generator, plumbing and appliance work |
| Diagnostics, scan and programming | $285 per hour | One hour minimum, applied as a credit against an authorized repair |
| Detail | $95 per hour | Interior and exterior reconditioning |
How are materials and parts calculated?
Materials are formula driven rather than estimated, so the same job produces the same number regardless of who writes it up.
| Item | Basis | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Paint supplies | $55 per hour times paint hours | Calculated automatically on every estimate |
| Body supplies | $5 per hour times body hours | Calculated automatically on every estimate |
| Hazmat and disposal | $45 flat | Applied where chemicals, refrigerant or LP are involved |
| Sales tax | 7.75 percent | Applies to parts and materials. Labor is not taxed. |
Parts at or under $100 carry 100 percent markup. Parts over $100 carry 35 percent. Special order parts require a full non refundable deposit at order, because the supplier will not accept a return.
What does each job typically cost?
Ranges below come from the same data the individual service and vehicle pages use, so they cannot drift apart. Every figure is a genuine range rather than a starting price with the ceiling hidden.
