Dealers charge flat rate, so whatever the book labor says is what they charge.
If the mechanic finishes the job in less time he can make more money because he's ready to take on another job.
A good flat rate mechanic can double his shop time.
Sometimes two mechanics will share one big job and split the labor.
I know when Toyota was replacing all those rotted frames they were paying mechanics 22 hours labor so two guys would get it done much quicker and split the job.
