In every state that I know of, there exists what is called "flat rate". It is a guideline as to what a shop can charge you per job. Keep in mind that is a maximum limit. Not a starting point. A good tech should be able to half that time. So, there is always room for negotiation. And, after giving a written estimate, and getting a SIGNED R.O., (repair order) I could not exceede that estimate by more than 10 percent, without getting a re-sign, from the customer. There are laws out there to protect you. You should always know your rights. You also have a right to have your old parts returned to you. That in itself could be a wealth of knowledge. Chuck......
