I wish some of you were a little closer the east coast of NC. I worked at a Pontiac dealership doing bodywork for 7 yrs and was in a fight with my boss at least once a week about the right way to do things and the way he wanted them done. I got out of doing bodywork for a living because of health reasons but still do side work to make a little extra money and would gladly help any of you out. Bodyshops in this area have a labor rate of $38 an hour, which I think is crazy. I understand having an overhead but damn. My boss was bragging about the shop two years ago, we grossed over 1.1 million. (Big Dealership)
I am kind of wondering what some of labor rates are in some of the shops in some of your areas.
