Relatively local shop charges $80/hr.  They specialize in imports.  Found out the owner, now in his 70's, use to work for MB as a mechanic in Stuttgart back in the late 60's early 70's.  He actually was one of the mechanics that put together the 250SL's and 280SL's.  Small world.  His son is working with him.

$0 per hour as I am my own shop.  . Maybe that's why my damn car doesn't run right!

I think I have the unbeatable deal. When I rebuilt the engine in my 1970 280SL I was working as a foreman in a Saab dealership. We were slow at that time and since I was the only hourly mechanic I always dropped off the work first to allow my flat rate mechanics to keep making a living. I had done all the usual cleaning and organizing tasks when my employer allowed me to rebuild my own engine on the clock.  I was paid to rebuild my own engine.
