Hot rods and custom vehicles are truly one-of-a-kind — every build is unique. Our estimates reflect our professional assessment of time and cost, but because of the individuality of these projects, they are subject to change. That said, we take pride in our communication — you’ll never be left in the dark about the progress of your vehicle. These builds are a process, and we’ll work closely with you to get your project completed as quickly and efficiently as possible.
An hourly rate means the shop charges based on the actual time a technician spends working on your vehicle. For example, if the rate is $120 per hour and the repair takes two hours, you’ll pay $240. This method is transparent and ensures you’re only paying for the real labor time, which can be beneficial if the job is quick or straightforward.
A flat rate, on the other hand, means the shop charges a fixed price for a specific service, regardless of how long it actually takes. For example, a brake replacement might be listed at $300 whether it takes one hour or three. While this gives customers predictable pricing upfront, it can have downsides. Some shops might rush through jobs to complete more flat-rate work in a day, which can impact quality. You might also end up overpaying for simple repairs that take less time than the flat-rate estimate. Additionally, if a technician encounters unexpected issues, the fixed price may not cover those, leading to added charges or delays.
