I recollect a Chilton’s work guides in a automobile correct attention – they have been flattering most a customary a automechanic would impute to when last a time it would take to do a sold pursuit (replace a timing belt, H2O siphon etc.) One of a family is starting a goal apparatus correct use (at patron locations). Is there a customary work beam to impute to in on condition which allude to to a patron or is it only anything goes? (I’d most cite to see a little customary guide!). Besides being astray to a customer, it would additionally be unreal in which a single would have to already know about a work time for each appliance, each brand, each indication etc. There have been thousand of ‘em out there!

- HOW DO YOU FIND HOW MUCH TO CHARGE USING AN AUTOMOBILE LABOR TIME GUIDE?
Some of the service calls are similar and they can quote you a price by estimating the approximate time it will take.
Most service men I have dealt with want a fee for coming to the house, a minimum fee of $75, and so much for each half hour after the first half hour. You pay for the first visit just so they can tell you what is the matter with it and give you an approximate guess what it will cost to fix it.
In most cases I have found it is better to just replace whatever is broke instead of fooling around with a repairman, depending on the cost and the age of the object.
Not every service can charge the same amount. Your rates need to be based on how much it costs you to roll the van out every day. What level of service do you want to provide? Are you trying to be the cheapest or the best. Do you plan on growing and expanding or are you just trying to buy a pay check. There is a lot more to do than just getting a van and a phone number. But anyway to answer your question, I don’t believe that there “Standard” repair rates. My basic rate is $65.00 and the average repair bill is around $140.00. For me to make a living and thinking about growing into a major repair business I have to run six calls per day and offer better service than any of my competition. Good luck, I wish your family all the best in their new business.
First off most people have no idea how to figure out the proper way to charge people for their time. Go to heatinghelp.com and order the book How much should I charge. I promise you it will be the the best business tool you own.
