$43/hr for professional body work?
Sounds like a good deal to me?
Yes, I have 2 friends with local body shops. They both say the same thing about what they can charge insurance. 1 is what is considered a pro shop in the body shop world. He has several employees that work for him. He has been saying for years that rates need increased. It's not right that a garage can charge $60 - $80 hr for machanic work,but a body shop can't. I guess just to much competition here.
