RE: [ST] What do you do?
Interesting, considering the hourly labor rate keeps increasing.
One closest to me charges $45/half hour. $90/hr!!!!! They're probably only paying the tech $20/hr if he's lucky. Then throw on the parts costs. Talk about being raped.
No wonder I'm seriously considering buying a tuneboy and some additional tools and doing the 24K tune up myself. Hmmm.
$400 for all the tools (includes TuneBoy) or $400+ to a shop. The next time I have to do the valve check tune up it'll have paid for itself, and at least I'll know it was done correct. If not I only have myself to blame and not some high priced shop.

I've also considered my options in this area. I recall a survey in MCN last
year that showed that motorcycle techs that work for other folks are
experiencing falling pay rates. Additionally few of them have paid benefits.
