Labor rate study

[americansupercarinc]

What State do you live in and what is your Labor rate or the rate at your favorate shop ?

I am not trying to discourage a thread, but if shops discuss rates, this could be a violation of the Federal Anti-trust Law.

Maybe we should ask what's the going shop rate in your given area...and not mention the names of the shops.....Bill would that work?

I may be wrong, but since we are not the shops it does not matter. and I only think that it violates any laws if we (shops) decide to set a price across the board. you see this alot with realtors, they can not say the everyone charges a 6% commission but we all know most everyone does cahrge 6%

Exactly, being a Realtor, I am keenly aware of discussing commissions with other real estate companys. Same with labor rates, I would hate for some agent with an axe to grind come in and say that bunch on the internet "set" and discussed labor rates.
