I agree with Mopar to ya. I own a small auto repair shop and I pay my tech on a sliding scale but at flat rate. Example: $22 hr for oil changes only -= .3 for the job x how many oil changes.
$24 for most of the rest of the labor
$25 for diagnosis and if we capture the job- they get $25 for the Whole job per flate rate hour instaed of $24.
My shop rate is $75 hr.
If the job calls for 4 hrs and he's done in 2.5 - kudos to him and more $ in his pocket. It's a win - win for the shop and him. We get to have more cars flow through and he gets a fat check.
Same thing goes- do it right and move on. You some screw it up- you do it for free. granted- if a part fails, the supplier pays for the shop time and the tech gets paid again.
I'm a NAPA auto care center and they pay me labor for their faulty parts problems.
