the tech's aren't paid that much.......shops charge high labor because they
have high overhead...also just like any other retail buissness (especially
franchise) you need to achieve a 75% gross profit margin in order to make any
money......which means if a part cost the shop $5 they have to sell it for
$20 between parts and labor to make any money......
