FYI.
RDS in Filthy... errr... Philly

quoted 225/hr labor rate. 675 for the roof rack (3hrs), 450 for the five bar (2hrs), and 225 for the sliders. 1.5% the cost of the truck I ordered. I'm not questioning the time if one includes staging, waste disposal and being meticulous, so, time theft isn't an issue. They have to bill rate, but that's almost my engineer rate for essentially building IKEA furniture and not skilled work requiring a trained experienced mechanic. Consider, Laborer union rate is 17.90 plus bennies in PA.
As planned I'll be doing it myself.
Notice that the 5 bar price/time would coincide with the price/time the California dealer quoted if the rate were adjusted to 300, which may indicate they have factory book for the time permitted and the elevated cost has to do with the type of luxury dealer and cost of living in the area. RDS sells Lambos and McLarens.
