Minimum wage of $/month 250. but mechanics over here get paid for work done not on an hour basis... you make a deal with him to replace the engine or tranny or....for a certain amount. replacing both cost $100 but insisting on a discount you can get it done for $75. I am doing my mechanical things for free, because we own a shop where a mechanic works for his benefit while fixing our cars for free. he works there without paying any rent fees. over here mechanics are poor people, and this guy has 3 babies to support, so it was a deal...
In the states you are worried about labor costs, over here it's more like parts costs. A professional paintjob costs over here a maximum of $1700 (the guy is a thief, but real professional paintjob) and a minimum of $200 (low quality, used by used cars dealers). I got mine painted for $1350 along with the fiberglass kit...
