He seems to be fine with the "up to you" rates so I'm not sure why we are even discussing it. I plan on using him in the future. Personally, the rate I'm willing to pay depends on the type of bike that is being worked on. I wouldn't pay P500 per hour for scooter work (I can get that locally for a fraction of the cost) but I could possibly see that as "fair" on a big bike if the work was done competently.

 

$10 per hour, equivalent to a $1600 monthly salary if working a full time job, in this country would give him a salary higher than the vast majority of overseas Filipino workers...even higher than many university educated professionals in the Philippines. I know Filipino mechanics working in Afghanistan that are lucky to bring home $1000 per month. What you see as "fair" or "reasonable" is in no way fair or reasonable in this country.
