I wish there were more places that charged by the hour, rather than "book rate"
Book rate leaves mechanics with two options- learn to work faster, or learn to cut corners. Sadly, we all know which is the easier of the two.
I would gladly pay an hourly rate for a mechanic who knows what he's doing to thoroughly diagnose and solve the problem. I wonder if any studies have been done on the return frequency for a particular repair based on "book rate" or hourly rate. Personally, I'd rather pay an extra 40% up front and have the job done correctly, than to pay the cheaper rate twice to solve one problem.
