The kind of investigation to be conducted (which, for example, can be based on the level of a security clearance needed) will depend on the reason for the investigation. Different kinds of background investigations have different requirements for the scope of the investigative coverage to be obtained.
Instead of trying to measure every inch of masking tape used and every ounce of paint sprayed, auto-body shops charge a flat rate for materials. At a rate of $45 per hour on average, paint materials also contribute to the rising car bumper repair costs.
Shops will charge about 11.8 hours for both. add 1 for a/c and 0.8 for A.I.R. if so equipped. I was thinking of letting Midas do mine so no matter what state I end up in next I will have one nearby in case of problems. They quoted me $1400 for labor $200 for gasket set and $600 for a machine shop inspection only.
