Best Answer

A flat rate price is a mutually agreed upon fixed remuneration between a service provider and the person receiving the service regardless of the time that it may actually take to provide the service. This type of remuneration is generally more common with so called "one time" jobs such as house painting; landscaping and so forth. In some instances, taxi drivers will agree to a "flat fee" in lieu of using the meter to drive a person from point A to point B.

Is there a standard for auto repair labor?

Yes. It is called flat rate, and as far as I know, it is mandatory in every state that a shop not exceed flat rate for any auto repair. Flat rate is determined by a third party, who performs the task on the actual vehicle, and records it. It is a system designed to keep things uniform, and even, and to protect the customer from price gouging. A good tech can half flat rate, and should be able to do two jobs in the time of one. That is a bargaining tool for the customer, as long as it is a routine job, on a routine car.
