I am considering becoming a mechanic as a career, but they get paid jack shit. To remedy this, I am entertaining the idea of opening my own shop to wrench. How much is too much to charge for each hour of labor?
>>16701757
you are going to be charging whatever your competition charges. try flipping shitboxes first.
i pay mine about 3 50 an hour
>>16701757
Are you charging by official labor hours or hourly? What kind of area do you live in? $50/hr seems pretty fair for working out of your garage.
If you're going to open a real shop with a business front then you would probably need close to $75/hr to cover costs. Just remember it's your ass on the line if you fuck up and you will almost certainly end up fixing shit for free for lying sacks of shit who claim "it wasn't like that before" if you want to expand your customer base.

This is why American car companies will always be king of the design world. Name a more aesthetically pleasing, beautiful car than the 2017 Buick Encore.
If the 2017 Buick Enclave weren't such a pleasing design that's also eminently practical I'd almost think OP was engaging in some sarcasm.
>>16704425
If the Buick Encore doesn't rock you cock off the block, you are the gay one pal.

I sold some textbooks on Kijiji a few years ago, was kind of a pain. Mostly you get niggers low-balling you or some autistic faggot with no communication skills.
If I am selling something I don't give them the option of texting or calling, only e-mail. Easier to manage. If they want what I am selling they will e-mail, and if they're too fucked not to, then I don't want to deal with them anyways.
