It can go the other way too in some instances... Not as common but it can... We had a tech that could flag 2.5 hours on a simple tire light under Warrenty. Something that we generally didn't charge customers for... Unless the problem was more than just tire pressure anyway.

So it works like health insurance then? Funny how those 2 hour jobs suddenly get billed at the actual rate it took to complete them. That's the part I detest about mechanics. I'd love for them to hire a lawyer by the hour one day and get triple billed.
Anyone ever ask a shop about strut replacement? Yup, 2 hours per corner(8 hour claim), whole job completed in 2 hours including the time it took them to come pick you up.
