How many hours would it take to install these parts?
I'm going to be taking my car to the shop a few different times over the next few months and I'm trying to add up how many hours each job takes to install parts so I can add up how much the labor will cost.
1: Big brake kit. Includes everything. Rotors, calipers, brake line, pads.
2. Brand new transmission, axles, forged clutch fork

Most shops go use a "Flat Rate" formula: example, their rate structure says a brake job will take 2 hours . . . if they get it done in 1 hour, they still charge you for 2 hours . . . . if they get it done in 3 hours, they charge you for 3 hours.
Even my trusted, 2-man local independent garage is up-to-date on technology: they subscribe to online services that show them how to fix anything on any make/model - even tell them which tools to get ready, what shop supplies, parts, etc. they will need. Likewise, it tells them how much to charge.

depends on the mechanic .. your typical shop monkey is going to take quite some time doing all that though, i hope you have deep pockets ..
