Last time I got lazy paid for an oil change it was about $180, with 2 filters, in a car that takes 10 litres

In saying that, we have the same problem with little jobs. You're still paying a qualified mechanic (hopefully!) to work on your bike and as such they command a qualified mechanics rate. You're taking them away from other difficult work (in theory) so why should they devalue themselves by charging less for their time according to difficulty? They are still using their time and they still have to be paid a wage.

It should be part of the Motorcycle license test, if you cant change your own oil in 10 mins you fail the test.

So... $60-80/hr... it takes much less than an hour to do a filter and oil, unless you're a fucking retard. Why the high price?

WOF as well. Need to see the sheet and hope they were descriptive to know anything else. My guess would be they had to 'adjust' some stuff for the WOF and charged for it, or gave the whole bike a good going over (service). Or they just accidently stayed clocked into the job number when they went for lunch

We're $120.00 odd an hour as are most shops in Welly. Doesn't take too long for things to get expensive.

Yeah because a WoF costs so much would be interesting to see how it adds up

Fucking Wellingtonians shit coffee too. We make brilliant coffee in our workshop. Well, I don't. I fail at real coffee machines.

Lol. I think we're gonna have to put a stop to this whole *Pete's coffee is poos* saga. It's costing me business...and it's slander I tell ya! It's fucking shit hot, and if I drank coffee I'd be addicted to my brew. Don't listen to the fairy tales...come get some. Brewed fresh. Once a year.

And if the mechanic rushed through the job and missed something, the op would have started a moaning thread about that.

wtf $120 a hr???? WTF???

[Crasherfromwayback]

Nothing wtf about it mate. Go to any big city dealership...with the overheads they have...and check their hourly rate. Car dealer ships are far more expensive. Trust me.
