chilton auto repair guides
Is there a standardized labor guide for the home appliance repairer/servicer?
I remember the Chilton's labor guides in the auto repair industry - they are pretty much the standard a mechanic would refer to when determining the time it would take to do a particular job (replace a timing belt, water pump etc.) One of our family is starting a hope appliance repair service (at customer locations). Is there a standard labor guide to refer to in providing quote to a customer or is it just anything goes? (I'd much prefer to see some standard guide!). Besides being unfair to the customer, it would also be impractical in that one would have to already know about the labor time for every appliance, every brand, every model etc. There are thousand of 'em out there!
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.
