I am having convulsions over the rates that i am being charged for some things. I thought it would be interesting to get some feedback from you all on this.
I had a tailwheel "serviced" on my '76 decathlon. they changed the tire, packed the bearings installed new pull springs. and hit me for $489.00. :shock:
they had 6 hours at $65.00 per hour. plus parts.
so i thought we could do a survey of everyones experiences.
A. what does your mechanic charge per hour?
B. what does it end up costing you for an oil change?
please state at least the town and airport.
(i have not had to pay for an oil chang YET.)
thanks!
