$30/hr is a bargain in my book. shops in NoVA charge around $100/hr.

You'd hate to see what I charge to tune then. The price goes up.
$30 an hour is a great deal. There is no dreaming, and many people have paid me to do more involved work at that price.
Considering lots of places charge between $35-90 an hour, I know I'm a bargain. I mean come on do you expect PepBoys to do your header install or trouble shoot your mistakes on your install or tune your ride?

One question. Would you pay someone else that same amount of money to do the same work that you already do yourself? Didn't think so.

There's error in your comment. The thing is I KNOW how to do the work. I PAID for the tools that I'm using, which wasn't a cheap amount of change that was laying around.

that's about average TO PAY for a commercial mechanic. You have to figure insurance is a larger part of that cost than the labor. The mechanics themselves probably get $15- $30, depending on seniority and the company.
