This is a good question and one many have asked over the past several decades. I suppose the first thing to know to answer your question is just what is a "prevailing rate"? My answer, based on my years of research in providing expert assistance in litigation matters and helping repairers and consumers, is that there is no prevailing rate unless it is the repairer's standard rate or that desired to pay by insurers. In performing surveys and interviews with many service providers, I've found there is a range of prevailing rates, and they're based upon several things, including business methodologies, desired market positioning and competitive business constraints. |
