Would like to know what others are paying for mobile mechanics in South FL. I try to avoid marinas and dealers, preferring to have work done on my lift when possible by mobile mechanics. On my invoices, there's just a bucket of dollars for labor, not a per hour, or per person charge. There is usually a 2-person crew where one guy is the experienced tech and the other guy is learning. What would be a typical combined hourly rate?.. or if known, what is the rate for the experienced tech vs. the learner?
 
I have a specialist here in Clearwater, who charges himself or his partner out at $65 an hour. If the job is complex the rate falls to $50 if more than four hours.
 
In South FL for good ones I'm seeing about $90-$150 an hour depending on how specialized the work is, plus travel time.
 
My current guy charges more by the job. But I have on average paid between $65 to $90. The mechanic who charged me $65 would take double the time to do anything.
