You are correct, Mark. Flat rate is bad for the employee, and bad for the customer. It seems like it would be good for the customer because ease of quoting, but it leads to short cuts and unnecessary repairs so the mechanic can make a living.
In the case of this oil change special, the mechanic probably gets paid about .3 of an hour. That's right, 18 minutes. 18 minutes to pick up the order, find the car, rack the car, drain and fill oil, procure the parts, replace filter, do the inspect, fill out paper work, park car, and turn in the work order/keys. One would have to do 27 oil changes a day to break even on 8 hours if all they work is the lube rack. There is a reason every dealer now has a help wanted sign. Mechanics are getting out of the business in droves because their skills are useful in other industries that actually pay and have benefits.
