My mechanic here on the mainland charges $95 an hour--and I'm happy to pay it. He's an expert on sixties and early 70's Mustangs and treats my '65 like it's his.
If this guy is a great, honest mechanic may be worth it to pay that much per hour, especially because his costs are probably a lot higher than here. But for an oil change? I'd probably go somewhere else.
But if your car is vintage, take care. I took my car to a cheap place for a lube and oil change and they didn't replace/tighten stuff correctly and it leaked.
