Most dealers near me charge upwards of $75 an hour. My local repair guy from when my warranty is out charges $35-$50 based on how long a customer you've been. He works cheap honestly. You'll be lucky around Chicago to find it under $75.
To answer this question you have to assume that the auto shop is giving the customer a price quote and charges hourly rate based on that. There are manuals that give hour rates of how long it will take to repair a certain problem on a vehicle. When these times are conducted there are considerations; the vehicle is in relatively new condition (no rust), the mechanic has all needed special tools and parts on hand, no air assisted tools used. This procedure is conducted by a practiced skilled mechanic and the average time is recorded within the manual. Some things to consider is that some shops will combine labor for additional procedures, even though they might be related. After all the times are added up then it is multiplied by the hourly rate of that shop. Now if the shop charges the customer hour by hour of the time the mechanic worked on the vehicle then it will be logged by a time clock. Then this time will be multiplied by the hourly rate.

The characteristics of a quality auto repair facility is that it has a free vehicle inspection for maintenance. The second characteristic is that it should have written estimates.
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.

More often than not, you can tell if an auto repair shop is good if the employees treat you with respect or not. Poor customer service often means poor auto service, while good customer service normally means great auto service.
If the customer doesn't mind, yes, why not, if they are still good parts
