About $95/hr. in So. Ca. Usually they give you a fixed cost for an action (replacing motor mounts) that keeps them in the money though. Estimates are exactly that.

the owners name is Jerry Erickson. Great guy. he is off san gabriel blvd. and foothill right next to the 210 fwy. i was there a week ago and they were doing some 500e to 320e cab conversion. so now the cab has a 500e motor, suspension, fenders and god knows what else they stipped out of that bad boy.

first kill i just called jerry. he confirmed that sl's are more expensive on the motor mounts. he said the sl is a bit more cumbersom to install the mounts. my ce was a lot easier so that is why my cost was lower.

he also said if you come by and mention me or the forums here he will definately set you up cheaper then the penske.
