Machine Shop Prices

I charge $45.00 per hole on a conventional V8 which gives me 4hrs to get it done. I charge $55.00 per hole if a torque plate is required.

I've never understood this trade and the mentality of it, both from a consumer's and shop's perspective. Some customers think every job takes 5 mins and should have Walmart prices and yet the shop has hundreds of thousands in equipment in tooling. J.Rob

Well said! For the precision work you do and the cost of the machinery to do it properly, I am surprised it doesn't cost more. tmm
