Mechanics get ripped off, consutmers get ripped off. They should set a rate that reflects the actual rate they charge per hour and charge it. They should pay mechanics a living wage without having to put 16 hours of billable time through a service bay.
I don't know that dealers make all that much money on service - my sources tell me it's really not that profitable. But, they should be forced to charge an honest rate for honest hours. Flat rate is deceiptful at best.
