Despite that, there are people out there that want their cars worked on ONLY by trained professionals backed by insurance and a warranty, that is what you pay for at a dealership.
Smaller ships like my previous two shops, can give you that same quality of work, insurance, and warranty, at about 60% of the cost, by lowering my labor rate and not scaling my book time nearly as much as a dealership does. Not to mention, I have the ability to "haggle" my own prices down to make a sale if I need to, that doesn't happen at the dealership.
If I told you what the dealership marks its parts costs up by, and how much they inflate their book numbers, you guys would shit yourselves.

right here you say you have lower labor rates and you don't scale the labor hours as much as a dealer.
Buy you do scale them.
so you get people in the door with a low labor rate then hike up the hours (scaling you call it) to make up the difference.
But since you don't see the "scaled hours" every time , it's in the computer program which you set initially, it's not there.
All of that is in more posts of yours throughout this thread.
