The challenge with paying someone hourly is the younger generation does not work hard and are on their phones throughout the day.

It should be by job. "This job should take you 5 hours (I can do it in 3). Anything over 5, you don't get paid. Anything under 5, you still get paid for 5 hours of work.

Obviously you have to temper that with extraordinary situations which always come up, especially East Coast cars and rust. But a brake job (pads and rotors) on a 2007 Lexus in CA is at most a 1 hour per corner job and that's going very slowly.
