Guess that was a subtle way of saying they would like to get some work done. Michaels right to a point. Part of every job is time spent with the customer. Much of that is unpaid, or unbillable. If your mechanic really knows his stuff, then he can do most of the jobs in half the time quoted in the "book" of labor estimates. Around here, you pay labor time listed in the book. So if the estimate is for 2hrs labor, you pay 2hrsX$60 or $120. The job only takes an experienced mechanic 1hr, so he is making $120. Chances are he owes you an hour of talk....
