Been a long time since I worked flat rate.

I vaguely remember several jobs that paid well beyond the time it took to do the work. Evaporator cores in some of the E and S class Mercedes paid especially well even under warranty. There was an air blend actuator on certain Volvos that paid about eight hours under warranty but with some improvised tooling and a little patience I managed to knock those things out in about an hour.

Yeah I love injector cups on a 7.3l pays 18 hours because they say you have to pull the heads I made a special tool that allows me to do it in 4 hours and I don't pull the heads. Flat rate is about beating the book but the shity part is some techs dont give a shit about the quality of work they do. I never compromise my quality of work to beat the book. That is the problem with flat rate many techs dont give a shit its all about the pay check. I will lose my ass and do it rite before I beat the book.
