My buddies dad took a state owned truck in to get the windshield wiper replaced. The boss showed him the bill later, $159. $9 for the wiper, $150 in labor for installation.

That's about what they charge everyone where I live. My stupid fucking dealership charges $250 an hour, and they're booked out two weeks. It's fucking insane. You turn wrenches for a living. You're not curing cancer. But as long as these rich-ass people around here keep paying it, they'll keep raising the rates. To be clear, I don't pay them. I do my own work unless it's covered by a warranty.
