My buddy has the car listed above and his trunk lift motor went out and is wanting me to replace it. I have not charged anyone outside of work for this. Any recommendations to for how much I should charge for labor only?

Well, book time is a half hour and normal shop rates are $80.00 to $120.00 an hour. So maybe $40.00 to $50.00 or so. If the friend supplies a new part.
