To answer this question you have to assume that the auto shop is giving the customer a price quote and charges hourly rate based on that. There are manuals that give hour rates of how long it will take to repair a certain problem on a vehicle. When these times are conducted there are considerations; the vehicle is in relatively new condition (no rust), the mechanic has all needed special tools and parts on hand, no air assisted tools used. This procedure is conducted by a practiced skilled mechanic and the average time is recorded within the manual. Some things to consider is that some shops will combine labor for additional procedures, even though they might be related. After all the times are added up then it is multiplied by the hourly rate of that shop. Now if the shop charges the customer hour by hour of the time the mechanic worked on the vehicle then it will be logged by a time clock. Then this time will be multiplied by the hourly rate.
