Indy hour rates - £115/hr seems high?

Wondering what people are paying around the land for Indy hourly service rates. I'm trying a new to me chap and his rate at £115/hr seems high?

What do you think?

. Cheers, Greg

Our local main dealer is £130
An Indy is generally between £45-60 p/h

However, they are not in London...

Somewhat depends on how good he is

and whether he's charging for actual time worked vs book time

If he's getting it right first time & working at a good pace, then maybe he's good value ?

Find a new mechanic at that price,mine charge the job as hourly can be a con I've found over the years with a few places you'd save money going 10 20 mile. _____________________________________________________

£50-£70, the upper for a Ex-LR Mech turned indie.

Craig, what do u charge? That should give a good benchmark.

Is this meant to be for the L405 part of the forum? Rates may be different for newer vehicles? .

I've just been quoted about £260 for six hours, VAT will get sneaked on I'm sure but it's still only 50 quid an hour. the six hours is for a Service, MOT and fitting new supercharger (don't ask ) Geoff

Would the labour rate change if the car was newer?? If so sounds much like a con to me

Joe90 this is for a 322.

His quote is for a number of jobs; one is 1.5 hours plus the 0 rings for the classic 4.4TDV8 oil pipe problem:

So that seems ok to me in terms of number of hours* (*although I have not done this) - it involves removing and replacing the pollen filter box to get to it.

...and just realised the £115 is ex vat. So that's £138inc

If you forget about the hours then the oil leak o-ring job is £255inc vat
I don't know how simple/complex this job is.

. Cheers, Greg

Pollen filter removal on L322 - 5 minutes, tops.

Undo 2 x 13mm bolts and pull. .
