Car Hire and Car Rental

Inquisit asked:


I want to buy a used car and want to hire a mechanic to help me do an inspection. How much do you think I should be charge for the mechanic’s time and travel?

I know nothing about cars and need someone who knows how an engine works. To all mechanics and anyone who knows one, how much is reasonable for a mechanic to charge me for his time and efforts in helping inspect the car to see if it’s a good buy or not?
