Is that from an indy?
I would think an indy could charge whatever someone else is willing to pay.

$60/hour for labor? Dealer here is well over $100. Independent local mechanic is just about $100.

I see you called Alex it's good, just don't live your car in his shop for long because he's also doing body work in the same place. When I got my car back from him there dust was allover my car inside to, my mistake was I brought my car in on Wednesday then ordered part for it so my car was sitting there till next Tuesday waiting for it and then Alex start complaining . Just bring car with your new part so you out same day
