As a graduate of Wyotech with 16+ years of experience I am to the book. Whatever the book says on labor for the Job is what I charge. I can add up to 3 hrs though for extreme service. All my Parts are genuine or equivalent if possible and especially when it comes to oil I will only use what the dealer recommends unless that oil has been superceded by another part. I do not mark up the price on parts.
My specialty is BMW and older Diesels and meeting service intervals of both Gas and Diesel engines. On German and Diesel automotive is 80.00hr. and everything else is 60.00 hr.
I am also highly experienced with modular Ford v8 such as the 4.6 and 5.4, the lifters and or Cam on Active Fuel Management GM Cars, Engine R.N.R, Transmission Service (I ensure that I get out as much oil as possible to a point where Ill fill and drain several times till I have clean fluid). Transmission RNR, Cylinder Heads, Timing Belt Service etc...
I can diagnose and repair the problem with your Car or truck no matter the make or model. Do Not take the Dealers word upon there diagnosis with your automobile, many times have I fixed something they have mis diagnosed.
