The cheapest indy is $150/hr, but they end up charging more hours than what is needed. It's so crazy that the dealership wanted $3k for spark plug change. That is multiple times more than a heart surgeon gets paid for heart surgery! Just wait until everyone has electric cars. Rates will be even higher and customers will have no choice but pay it because indy's won't have access to the codes.

Again, all the more reason to buy a used mechanical ICE car, like a manual. Let the kids learn on a car that doesn't have screens all over the place, doesn't drive itself, and needs to be treated with care or there will be problems.
