Labor and the Cost of Cincinnati Car Maintenance

The most expensive part of any car repair is usually the labor. If your mechanic tells you the repair is going to take a week, ask why. If they say the repair is a complicated job that will take a while, chances are they are milking you for time. Granted, some parts may take a little while to order and maybe their schedule is all filled up with previous work orders, especially if you took the car in for an emergency.
