Apparently you do not know what you are talking about.
Most shops use a flat rate pricing based on time, regardless of what is involved to complete one repair.
BULL
The shops that do things right the first time are more quality oriented (cost more) hire better trained and experienced technicians(cost more) provide excellent working conditions (cost more) and posess the latest technology and tools to perform proper diagnosis (cost more) and often guarantee their work for an extended period of time outside state mandated warranties (cost more) PLUS use factory original or high quality rebuild parts (cost more) AND send their technicians out regulraly for training (cost more) If you own a shop and you do things right, CHARGE FOR IT!!!
It is likely the #1 spot in the repair insdustry, unless you contest that there are not as many cars around?
I happen to know a woman that got ripped off on a repair, it was repairshop owned by a woman! I also knoiw a woman that paid more for a
1 yr old Suzuki Sidekick then a new one costed at a dealer. The sales person was a woman.MAke sure you inform your clients that, once success is achieved , they can count on having to pay twice as much for the 120 dollar repair they are wining about today.
Thank you too Sir.
