Labor rates calculation

[porsch964]

I need to calculate the time labor rates to perform work on a Rodeo. Is there a site where the software to obtain that information can be downloaded? Thanks in advance for your replies.

Depends on the part of the country you live in, and the service you need done.

typicall rates are about 75 bucks an hour.

dealers charge more.

I think edmunds.com use to have maintance schedules for cars and suggested rates for the work.

reading over the edmunds numbers, they are super low, Like 30 bucks labor to repack the bearings.

I know I paid 80 to have the dealer do this and it would of cost 150 if I had 4wd.

also the trans labor is low too.

I think you could add on 50-100% to all of the suggestion Edmunds has.

Your best bet is to post what you need done and other will chime in.

I can give you all kinds of estimates/actual costs of different maintenance items I've had done via my import mechanic in Colorado.

I do have the 97 V6 model, so if your's is a 95.5-97 V6 model, costs would probably be similar.

Last time I had my truck in, the labor rate via my mechanic was $60/hr; I believe he may have gone to $65/hr now.
