Lee, I think your time is about right if a little high. As it happens i have done one since I posted. I did it a lot quicker than my mechanic did @ 3 ¾ hours. (He is now my ex mechanic which kinda makes the purpose of this thread mute)
Steve, absolutely agree. I am watching job times to keep an eye on staff more than anything else. The trick is to find a balance between speed and quality that allows labour sales to be profitable without roasting the customer. I am not the quickest mechanic in the world but I don’t break things and they usually start first time after I have put them back together. I have had quick guys work for me before who caused problem and slow guys who were very good but difficult to make a profit on.
Iannnnn, spot on I think. Probably, your mate didn’t have an opinion on a Welsh man’s time because he never saw one working
Cheers
Alan
