For £90 per hour I'd say your in mass market dealer territory, you can double that with some of the prestige marques.
Now, you might think that £90 quid per hour is excessive, but when you break down all the costs incurred in running a main dealership it's usually around 2 to 3 quid profit per hour.
No doubt someone is on a mechanics forum questioning a photographer charging £600 day rates, or £18000 to shoot a wedding....
there is probably far more equipment costs and running costs in spannering cars than taking pictures
cars have gone way beyond mechanics now
Trouble is, there are loads of unqualified people who think they can simply buy a set of spanners and it makes them a mechanic.
Oh....wait.......
So I brought this stethoscope and leather bag at the car boot this weekend, I think I'm going to start checking peoples vitals, but only at weekends In the week I'll carry on with my day job, I've got my first physical booked, it's okay she knows I'm only and amateur and still learning, it's okay I'm only doing it to cover my costs and besides it's all experience right

funny you say that, when my car's fuel gauge played up (showing empty for full tank) a few weeks ago, i was told they repaired the wiring inside fuel sender unit for me.What car do you own, mechanics seen to be a dying breed, their called fitters now. Old part off new on seems to be the order of the day. It's a shame because a good mechanic is worth his weight in gold to a garage ;-)

Teeth ?
I do most of the work myself. Once a year the car gets a Ford £99 value service, which includes a thorough check over everything on the car, useful for anything I may miss and for piece of mind. If anything needs doing, I decline having the work done by them and do the work myself or my son does it.
