A honest amount is your same hourly rate that you charge everyone and
actual part cost. Not what you "think" the home owner is dumb enough
to pay or what you need to buy that "new paper towel" tool you've heard
about. That kind of crap is what gives your profession a bad name.
And believe me when someone gets screwed by a so called Pro, the word
will get around.

Ok, so you want to be charged a flat rate??
I already do that... my prices are published in a book so all my customers
get charged the same amount for each task/repair. With flat rate, you don't
get charged for *LABOR*, and it doesn't matter how long the repair takes,
the price remains the same. FWIW, a PRO will tell you exactly how much the
repairs will be before he makes any repairs.
So tell me.... did you cal a real pro?? or just the guy with the lowest
service call price??
