Shop Labor Rates...
What kind of labor rates are you guys seeing from indy shops? Local "performance shop" quoted me $159 hourly.. Yikes!.. What happened to the $80-$110 days? Am I stuck in the past?

Local Porsche shop charges $100 an hour.
Quality work. They build cars for quite a lot of people around the Midwest.

$110, Pulse Racing Service in Northeast FL. And the shop has all of the Porsche stuff, not just a shop that says they will work on one.

yeah this depends on where you live...when I was in the East Coast my Ferrari dealer charges $165/ hour labor (3 years ago). Now I am in NorCal and my Mercedes indy charges more than that!

It's not so much the actual book rate as it is the actual book time they charge for a repair.

$159 is high for an indie. Porsche Dealer shops Im familiar with run $160-$220. Indie shops $100-120. Best to get a quoted price for comparing, if you can.

Found another shop in Houston, current rate is 100/hr
Einar's Garage
3483, 1909 Nicholson St, Seabrook, TX 77586
(832) 755-6774
Talked to owner earlier today because I am starting to think Modern Aircooled charges a little too much. For example they quoted me 5 hours of labor for swapping shifter and coupler in the 3.2 carrera. Einar said that's a max 3 hour job, usually 2.5 hours. That's 250 vs. 650.
991 oil change is flat rate 200 total including oil. Modern wants 2 hours labor + parts. Probably would have come out to 260+100+tax = ~400.

Well this is the part that bugs me with every shop.. They'll book you for 10 hours of labor but they finish the job in 4-6.. Even in those 4-6 hours, how much of that time was spent on their phone? Taking a dump? Chit catting? ... etc.
