Yes, and at $85+/hour.
LOL, how much of that goes to the guy with dirty nails ??

It depends. Some guys take it all but pay for there own shop, truck
and benefits. Some guys get 25%. Even at 25% it's a halfway decent
living, and the smart, motivated guys save up and plan for going on
their own.
"Mikey" here only works on late model Yamahas and he knows how to say
no if it is a basket case but he is still booked weeks in advance. He
works out of a small SUV without a whole lot of overhead. He does have
a lot of money tied up in tools. That is one reason he only picked a
small range of motors to work on, just to keep the special tool
inventory reasonable. There are plenty of late model Yamahas around.
He really needs a manager tho. I bet he could charge more and I am
sure he could use some time management skills.
That is true of most small businesses tho.
Sure... here you go..
