Howdy friends. I'm a 23 year old in Ohio that got a helluva deal on a 2.5 bay service station. I went to The Powersport Institute in Cleveland, Ohio. I was educated in metric powersports but my lack of experience in a formal shop setting has made my job learning-heavy, and i focus mostly on mowers to make a living and supplementing that with some powersport work.(I also do some buy sell trade stuff)
My biggest problem is taking a long time to do a job and not wanting to charge a customer the full 5 hours it took me to figure out a 3 hour job. What I'm really looking for is some type of labor hour book for various jobs such as belt installs and spindle rebuilds and much more. I have a book that tells the labor times for engine work, but my lack of experience has stopped me from really digging into engines. (most of my money is made from carb cleans, services, tire repairs and bad bearings.) I would like to profit more, as i feel I'm cutting myself short in labor times.
Any guidance would be helpful!
