Hobbs is a smaller market, where labour is cheaper but travel time to your address may be built into the call. It is the 7th largest New Mexico city on this site, and size is what moves price within a state: shop overhead, drive time per call, and prevailing wages all rise with it.

That makes it the 7th dearest of 8 New Mexico markets and 527th of 586 we track across the country. Labour, not parts, accounts for the difference — parts ship at roughly the same price everywhere.
