Hourly, and I tell you the number first.

Diagnosis and quotes are based on the repairs needed. Same rate across Pensacola, Pace, Milton and Gulf Breeze; past that there is a trip charge, and I'll say so before I come.

Gas

Diesel
$125/hr
Heavy equipment

Warranty

I warranty any work I do if it's brought back to me. If it's taken to another shop first, I won't warranty what someone else touched.
