Default What is your dealers shop rate?
I do all my own wrenching but I was picking up a new bike on Saturday and look at the shop rates and it was $84.95 an hour.

Doesn't this seem execessive?

Not sure, I do my own wrenching also but, last time I checked my local dealer it was $60/hr. That was a couple of years ago tho.
