I have a friend that wants me to change his engine oil(and filter), spark plugs, air filter, and brake pads. He is going to buy all the stuff, so what is a fair amount for labor for EACH of these things. Keep in mind that this is a friend, I don't want any actual shop costs.How much does labor cost for work on car?Depends on what kind of vehicle. Is it a 4 cylinder where it takes 10 minutes or an Expedition where it books out at 4.5 hours just for the spark plugs. I would say based on your question anywhere between 50 bucks and 300 bucks. We charge 107.00 an hour at our shop.How much does labor cost for work on car?What the 'shop' charges and what the mechanic gets are 2 (TWO) totally different amounts
A lot of shops seem to charge based on the 'flat rate' books, and NOT their true costs + profit margin. AND they Justify it to the customers because its in the book. PoppyCOCK! (but thats another soapbox to climb on another time)

If you are doing the work at home or your friends place, have them help out, show them how to do some of it. Thats worth what you can live with asking $$ for in my opinion.How much does labor cost for work on car?60 dollars/hour? Maybe 30years ago. Average shop rate is $94-125. an hour. Look up flat rate, charging half of shop rate what I usually do. Although don't do it hourly; I flat rate each job. Brakes,oil change and plugs that's a fair part of a day depending on vehicle type. Keep in mind if your just starting out repairing cars you need to place a higher value on your training. So keep that in mind.How much does labor cost for work on car?A shop would generally charge somewhere around 60 dollars/hour.....probably more.
