Since 2019, vehicle repairs have increased from $50 an hour to $60. Several factors contribute to the increase, and your customers may wonder why.

• Vehicle Complexity: Modern cars are heavier and packed with advanced technology, making repairs more intricate and costly.
• Skilled Technician Shortage: A growing scarcity of qualified mechanics is driving up labor rates.
• Supply Chain Disruptions: The pandemic (yeah, that old thing) has exacerbated part shortages, inflating prices further.
