How much should i pay someone to fix my car?

for my 2001 ford taurus i already bought the parts i need to change the rotor(just one),the brake pads and the right caliper, parts are bought already so i was wondering how much should i pay someone for the labor for someone to do it for me ????How much should i pay someone to fix my car?
Ive been a mechanic since 2001. On the side I would do it for $40. It'll take like 30 - 45 minutes max.How much should i pay someone to fix my car?
50-100$ if you already bought the parts.How much should i pay someone to fix my car?
If you were my friend I would do it for a 12 pack of beer and a little conversation as it only takes about 20 minutes to an hour to do. Depending on how much conversation is going on.



About $50 is a good estimate though.How much should i pay someone to fix my car?
shouldn't take too long 100-150 is about right since in order to change the caliper the brakes must be drainedHow much should i pay someone to fix my car?
no no no no. you do brakes in pairs if you have the money. just like shocks or struts. however if you don't want to do that to put a caliper, rotor and pads on...it's a pack of smokes and a 6 pack. that's what they should be paid. and a shop is typically going to be around 100-150 if they're replacing a caliper.How much should i pay someone to fix my car?
no more than a hundred dollars cause you have all the parts in hand and its about 2 hrs work tops and that's if your slow lolHow much should i pay someone to fix my car?
takes about an hour max .How much should i pay someone to fix my car?
50-100.00 would be about right... it's about an hours worth of workHow much should i pay someone to fix my car?
I can't understand why you'd buy the parts having no idea who's going to install them or what the cost. I used to hate it when people showed up at my shop with BYO parts because if the parts were wrong or defective, my work space would be tied up while I waited for them to straighten it out with the parts vendor. Even when I took the time to pre-check the part numbers myself, I considered it a risk. In most cases, these folks hadn't even bothered to ask for a professional's quote on the work: they just assumed they would be gouged. I felt that I was the one being gouged instead. I stopped taking those jobs and I feel OK about it.
