Here in Baton Rouge, LA, the average seems to be around 100/hr. I suppose you have to consider the cost of living where your at. New York or Califorinia would obviously be more than other places. I personally charge 70/hr. After 15 years working for the big companies, I left to start my own, so now I undercut them all & give free estimates to boot. It helps that I don't have near their overhead & I like what I do. I love to beat their price on a p.m. or rebuild & make them look bad.
Here we use to charge US$165 per hour, plus parts.
Our rate is 90 pounds or 180 dollars an hour and people are still willing to pay that for chargeable calls over and over, just for not loading the paper correctly etc
Last Company I was affiliated with charged 120 hr b/w, 150hr color. My company charges 100hr b/w 130hr color.
In my market, I can't go that high, much as I'd like to. Pittsburgh companies are as LOW as $100/hour for printer service.
I'm in the more rural areas up north, with some small fry competition. Average I pooled when doing my market research within a roughly 20-30 mile radius came to $44/hour.
I charge $55/hour with a 1-hour minimum, overage billed to the next quarter-hour, and a $15 trip charge. Networking is $75/hour. I also over a block program which can drive the per-hour rate lower starting at $1,000 for 2 years.
When I was working as an independent in central California back in the early 1980s thru 1995, I charged $85.00 @ hour with a one hour min. Now I work for a large company that charges $145.00 @ hr. In my area I don't do much T/M (time and material), but we have a huge Service Contract base. I don't like to talk about money with a customer. I just want to be able to do the work and let Admin do the billing. Easier that way!

Here in Odessa Texas the big dealerships are charging $150.00 per hour. The smaller businesses range from $80.00 to $125.00 per hour. I choose to charge $125.00 per call...not per hour and it has worked out rather well. Plus I get a mark-up on parts.
We are in what is probably the last boom for West Texas. No telling where the rates will go when the boom ends.
Here, we charge $96/hr in shop, $115/hr in the field.
Nobody will pay more than 1.5 hrs, sometimes 2 hrs.
Never more than that, even though I've spent up to 4 hrs on some machines.
Can't find techs for any kind of money ($15/hr is what we're paid, plus vehicle allowance), big shortage here in BC.
