In response to "I worked retail for years and this I under stand. This is NOT an auto parts store. This is an auto repair that will, of course, charge labor costs. -- nm" by zunk takes things literally

So a major part of what I do is quotes on custom projects

So we've got costs for materials / parts and I apply a markup to those.

We've got established numbers for our cost for various types of labor, assembly, engineer/design, project management, test and so on

So we're charging a markup (granted not as high as spare parts markup) on parts in addition to the labor rates we're charging.

Responses:

and...how much does the shop markup the labor cost? mechanic gets 25 an hour, the shop charges 125 an hour -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 3, 10:58 1
