I have had a mechanical position open for several years and willing to pay up to $45 per hour to someone who will take responsibility for their work and do the work within published labor hours. I don't think it is unreasonable to want to only pay for the solution and not for the trial and error to get to that solution.

Good techs are needed all over the U.S. Trying to find them is the biggest headache that I hear from other business owners.
