What would a mechanic charge...?

Teacher I work with suggested asking James to do a tune up on her 2001 Ford Windstar, including oil change. She'd rather pay him then a mechanic. I know some people will throw a red flag and suggest he not do it, since he likes to put things on backwards and such...but, if she were to take it to the mechanic, what do you think they would charge for labor? Obviously she'll buy all the parts, or pay us back if we buy them all first...but for labor, what would be reasonable to make it worth it not to take it to the mechanic, but still make it worth James' time?
