Does anyone have access for info on Labor Cost and Time for changing the
the Coil on Plug (COPs) for the above truck. I thought about doing them; but I don't think my old back will take it.

 

It is an easy job. Should only be about 2 hours tops.

 

As mentioned, I can't image labor would be more than 2 hours.

Probably takes less than an 30-60 minutes to do but they bill based on what it would take the average person to do.

 

Right, I believe warranty pays 2.2 hours.

I thought the dealer was something like 2.6 hours.

I don't have that info anymore, - use to when I had ALLData. Many moons ago.

 

2.6 hours for just the cops?!?! Nah, maybe for plugs and cops.

Who came up with these numbers? Sheesh. My dog could do it faster than that. And I don't even have a dog. I would go buy one and train it to do it in less time.

 

Yuh big fibber.

Ford Service. You can look for yourself if you know anyone w/ALLData. - Or OASIS for that matter.

But, your right, that's is for plugs as well and I'm almost positive on those times.

 

When was the last time you were at the dealership? They charge $80-$100 just to read engine codes. They charge a flat rate and I can guarantee they charge more than an hour for cops. They are there to make money, not get the job done quickly like us backyard wrenchers.

 

The going rate here is about 6 budweisers an hour. If it can't be completed in two hours, requires waiting another 24 to sober up.

 

A couple weeks ago, thanks for asking. Yes I know the prices...that's the reason I wrench myself. Same as us IT guys. My billing rate is near $200/hr. Sometimes that includes watching a progress bar or download if I'm onsite. Cost of professional and not having to do it yourself.

A couple of my buddies work at flat rate shops. They love it. Get a 12 hour job done in 6, get paid for 12 and continue onto next job. They can make 2-3 times their base wage if nothing goes wrong during the repair.

 

I know this that's why I said something. The OP asked about labor hours, not how many hours a normal person can do it in. There's a huge difference, just like you stated.
