Okay, let’s tackle this. So Benjamin has 30+ years of experience, which is a significant amount. He’s also an entrepreneur and has managed multiple businesses, including his own auto body and repair shop. This level of experience and entrepreneurial background typically commands a higher rate. However, his current role as an auto appraiser at Viking Auto Appraisal is a bit more specialized. Considering his overall experience and the industry demand for automotive professionals, I’d estimate his hourly rate to be around $125. This is slightly lower than what I’d expect for an entrepreneur with his level of experience, but it’s still a decent rate for someone with his background in the automotive industry.
