Hi all I just opened a mechanic shop and had a question for all you mechanics out there. I’m young with 5 years in the business working as a mechanic also certified and graduated in this field. I just opened a mechanic shop and don’t really know what my pricing should be per hour. How do you generally quote your jobs? Is it by hour? By job? If I get a quart of oil for $2 what should I sell it for? 30% markup? 40%? Any advice will help. Also I know it depends on the area, if it helps, I’m located in the north east.
hey there! congrats on opening your shop. pricing can be tricky, but generally, it’s good to consider your costs and desired profit margin. many shops quote by job, and a 30-40% markup on parts is common. also, take into account your location and local competition. good luck!
