Boston area BMW Labor Rates?

NORAGRETS · 07-11-2016, 08:01 AM

I know dealers charge a lot per hour for labor rates, but Im wondering, what does your dealer charge?

I havent had work done out of warranty at the dealer in a while, but I remember $129 in the recent past, anyone?

Now looking at $150.55 per hour??

Usually id take it to my independent shop but the situation with the car currently doesnt allow it, has to stay where it is and i dont want to pay for towing.

In Las Vegas the dealer is charging $185/hr. last I checked.

Since my car is out of warranty I never go to the deer now. It will have to go there for the airbag recall but that will be free.

Last I checked rate was $125

thats what i thought ^^^ $125ish

$150.55 currently, other dealers @ $145...seems f-ing STEEP. I go elsewhere usually but for this it has to be done at dealer.

Not happy

Yep. We have 2 dealerships but they are both owned by the same company so no competition. My local Indy shop is half their labor rate and does a great job.

Here in the SF Bay Area, you're looking at $200/hr at the dealer for high line vehicles such as BMW, Mercedes, Land Rover, etc.

Reputable independents are in the $125-$150/hr range.

Hole in the wall places are $100/hr.
