The guy I use when I don't have time is officially £30 an hour but he doesn't charge me anything like that. He charged me £50 labour on a clutch change on an XUD for example.
RE: Car Labour rate Comparison - Frosty - 31-07-2015

RE: Car Labour rate Comparison - Piggy - 01-08-2015
The independant I worked for 9+ yrs ago was £60 an hour then.
Peieved me right off when i was on a fiver an hour and often doing 3-4hr jobs in 1-2hrs!
He was such a greedy git.
That was hereford
Round here (cotswolds) small garages its no less than 55/60 and main dealers are round the 100-150
Hence why I am always hounded by friends
