They will charge book time no matter what, because that's how flat rate works and most dealers pay flat rate. Independent shops can do whatever they want. I wouldn't trust everything you read on google.
I once had job that was under an independent extended warrantee, and I quoted the company $400. My shop was in Woburn Ma, they told me that they had a shop in Lawrence that would do it for $200.
I told them to make sure the customer had a gun with him when he dropped it off in Lawrence. I never took another job that was under an independent warrantee again.
