Just because in your little corner of the world they do not charge $75 an hour does 
not make it outrageous. Labor rates are very much driven by shop location. A shop 
doing business in a tiny little town in the backwoods somewhere does not command the 
same labor rate as a shop in San Francisco, which seem to have about the highest labor 
rates in the country. Labor rates are driven by overhead too. Ultra modern shops have 
higher operating costs, be it the building or the latest and greatest equipment. It 
all costs. Like most things, outrageous is subjective and relative.
