How much does an auto mechanic charge per hour these days? At least 100 an hour, maybe more.

I was pumping gas and doing tuneups then. This looks like what my boss charged. Needing a distributor cap pushed it up a bit. DriGas was a moneymaker that had limited benefit, IIRC. Doesn’t look like your dad got rooked.

That would be like what, $1,000 in labor today?
