I just had my car in for work the other day and I feel like the hourly rate that the shop charged is a little high. It was $89/ hr. I know labor is a big part of the cost of getting work done, but I was wondering what is a decent hourly labor rate to look for? Or is $89/hr right in line with what I should expect? Thanks

Let me add this as well. The place I went to was Firestone. I am always skeptical of the chains.( Firestone, Midas, Monroe Muffler, etc.) Would it be better to go to a dealer or no?

Haven't really looked lately, but a couple of years back the average was $50-$70 an hour. It may have inched up over the past several years. Any decent shop will have their labor rate posted, or you can ask. Dealers tend to be higher than independents.

Don't know of a website, but it shouldn't be more that an hour of labor to replace two shackles. Why do you want to replace them? If they are bent/broken, this could extend the time to remove them. If you are just installing longer shackles, like for a lift, then this time should be about right. Ask the service manager at the shop for a quote. He should be able to estimate the hour(s) it will take and give you a maximum cost to perform the job. If it seems high, get another quote from another shop.

I'd like to find an honest auto mechanic who does work on the side anywhere in a 20 mile radius. I live in Brunswick Ohio
