I'm curious how local RV repair shop labor rates compare with others around the country. It would help if posters identify if the rate is for a small independent shop, a large independent, a chain (like CW), or a dealership.
I'll start off with my latest finding. A large (65 bay) local independent repair facility, newly becoming a dealer, is at $100 per hour but is soon going to $110. I know our local small shop is less, but I need to check his current rate.
What are service labor rates in your area?

In my area an RV repair shop is $119. an hour. A truck garage, to do the same work, $90. an hour.
I am currently in upper MI where an RV shop rate was $100 an hour and a truck shop, that did EXCELLENT work replacing a U joint was $60. an hour.

Average in MI is around $100-$120 an hour for most any vehicle maintenance by a shop or garage. Some of the smaller ones will give you a break in most cases on a large labor job.

Don't forget they also charge full list on parts! That can add heavily to the per hour rate.
