Labor rate? Shop charge? I just have to clean the tire machine and move it back into the garage when I'm done with it. My friend up the road owns the machine. So I can use it as needed, no charge.
Closest bike shop has a flat rate of $60 for a tire change. He doesn't really want to do them, so, he charges accordingly.
Next closest shop is right at $100, and if you walk in the door the complaining starts. Most expensive and least customer service oriented shop in the surrounding 4 states. He'll be happy to sell you a brand new machine, but, you can forget about ANY post sale activity being handled correctly. In fact, you'll be wearing out the warranty (and your credit card) because the bike won't be set up/assembled correctly...
If our Suzukis need any actual work done that I can't handle, they get an 8 hour ride to the Gulf Coast in the back of my mini truck. The local dealerships are a farce.
