Unless they agree to a comission type pay, and they'd still have to agree to what each felt was fair, and doubtful any owner would agree to an even split.

One guy I know uses the book rate, if the book says a job will take 3 hours and the mechanic gets done in one hour, he gets 3 hours pay. If it takes 6 hours, it's still 3 hours pay.

Don't think I will be using your mechanic.. I Don't know who made or determined the Rule of "Book Rate". Seems like an Archaic way to doing business... After diagnosis of issue, we determine the cost to fix.. We agree or not to agree... part as friends either way... If  the mechanic is of any worth, then its a mute point pertaining to book rate.

Most of the auto dealerships use book rates.

Thanks for setting me straight on Dealership labor rates. That must be the reason I haven't taken a vehicle in to a Dealership for general repairs outside of Warranty work. I'll stick with the fellow who has a Shop/garage behind his house as his business. He may had quoted me a book rate, but if I think it's too high, I shop around for someone else.. Last repair was my old 1998 knock-around truck needed new clutch. I bought the parts & he installed clutch & fluids for 150 bucks... vs Dealer wanted 600 bucks, 5 years ago. 

The similarity between union and non-union blue collar workers ends with their skills.
