What's the going 'Hourly Rate' for specialist garage?

[Hark]

Place i used today was £60 + vat

Small one man garage, does vw Porsche and merc generally.

Is this about right nowadays or not??

[Vixpy1]

Yep, sounds spot on

[R26Andy]

Porsche specialist I use is £50/hr + VAT, depends a lot on location.

[medieval]

£50 per hour plus vat for me at a local independent Porsche specialist too

Sounds about right, but where are you based?

Also, do you prefer a great specialist with the knowledge to do the right job in one hour?

Or a generalist charging half the hourly rate who faffs around working out the best way to attack the job and takes 2 hours?
