Also, it shows to me that you know nothing about the business.

let me give you a hypothetical of how this works.

My labor hour is $80 an hour
My labor hour markup is 10%
You Car is booking at 2.2 Hours to fix (2.0 standard)
It takes me 45 minutes to fix.

Every business is going to charge you that 2.2 Hours to fix, unless they are the 1% of business out there that don't mark their labor hour up. In which case you get charged for 2.0 hours.

It still took us 45 minutes to fix, and you get charged 2 hours.

Are we crooks then?

If you say yes, then it appears to me that you haven't read a god damned thing in this thread, and are only trying to troll at this point, because your lack of business sense or reading comprehension are low or non existent.

Best post of the thread right here.

Job should take 2 hours.
Actual labor is 45 minutes.
Bill for labor is $176

Now, he claims to charge $80 an hour for labor, but $80 an hour would come to $60. In reality, he's charging $235 an hour.

He defends this by talking about how thorough he is. Doing a job that should take 2 hours in 45 minutes doesn't scream thorough to me, but what the **** do I know?

Maybe he's so ****ing good that he can do in 45 minutes what a mere mortal requires two hours to complete. If so, great. Charge $235 bucks an hour and explain that you will get the work done in half the time as the guy down the road and for the same price overall. Don't pad your hours (ie outright lie to the customers) and pretend you're not a shyster.
