Independant shops and dealers base their repair hourly dollar rate on what the local market will bear........no real suprises there. The time per repair guides for independants are based on two sources; Mitchel or All-Data systems. Both are PC/Web programs udated quarterly.

Dealers use a basic method for COD repair time of warranty time mutilpied by 150% which is usually close to the aftermarket times.

Repair shops dealer or otherwise will (never?) charge on a scaled system similar to a law firm because of greed.
