Servicing: Rates per hour labour?

[Snails]

My car is due for service soon, the guy servicing it is a family friend and is only charging £25 per hour labour, so just out of curiousity what is the going rate for labour at a garage?

 

[MikeB]

[Wests Renault]

the renault dealership i work in is £69 for cars up to 4 years old £59 for cars 4-9 years old and £49 for cars 9 years and older

 

[Hutchie]

37.50 per hour

 

[Tunst]

£20 per hour from us

How can you make a living on that? You must have really low overheads to get away with that
