Is labour flat across dealers?

kgbwnet · 05-16-2008, 11:27 PM

Hi all! I'm new here although I've been reading this forum for sometime now, so nice meeting you all!

Just wondering, do all the dealers charge the same labour rate? I did my B12 maintenance today at Waterloo Honda and it turns out to be $313 w/ tax. They charged me 2 hours of labour at $91/hr. Is that about the same in GTA? Or is the rate about the same but some charges less hours? I was a little bit shocked by the price...

No. But they will probably all be around the same as each other in order to be competitive.

Maintenance at dealers is usually a crappy deal - a lot of times they just do visual inspections, clean stuff up, add a bit of lube and send you on your way with a much lighter wallet.
Best way is to learn how to do some of the stuff yourself, a friend who knows what he/she's doing or find a trustworthy mechanic to do it for you without charging you an arm and a leg.
