im under the inpression im not charging enouth what do you lot think???

i fitted an alarm with remote engine start and door popers so i had to mount all the popers in the doors ect ect i also supplyed and fitted disks and pads he supplied the alarm and i charged him £170 including the cost of the breaks that cost £60

 

yep far too low.

should be at least 300 for all that

 

Are you a proper set up business, with insurance and taxes to pay? if so how are you making any money!

Or are you doing the odd job on a driveway etc with no extras? then £110 in your pocket for a few hours work aint bad

 

you riped him off

only joking. undercharged way to much

 

How long did it take?

 

5 minutes and a Quick Tommy Tank...

 

Clarke you wanna change the rear wheel bearing on my bmw mate????? and how much?

 

if you doing it as a bit of work on the side, £110 aint bad for half a days work.

 

Regardless of it being kosher or on the side, too cheap IMO.

 

Deffo to cheap, why should you sell yourself short when they would have to pay the proper price elsewhere anyway

Fuck em, they want it done then they have to pay the price

 

you dont want to be a busy idiot, but you don't want to be expensive, best to be earning a decent amount but a little cheaper than any rivals so you pull the work.

If you charge to little, when your quiet you will be in the shizzer as you haven't been making much in the busy periods.

 

To cheap fella...




So rip Dan off and get some money back

 

Sod off Radleigh im skint and poor

 

 

are you happy with it?

as above, if its a bit on the side then i suppose its ok money.

 

what bm is it mate?? can do bit of a pain in the ass depending on what type tho ill have a look for ya

 

just a bit on the side after work en that realy

 

but i do it after work in my own time. the way i see it is that rather than sit at home on my ass i mite as well be earning i bit extra if you no wot i mean

 

I have started doing a few jobs in my spare time. I work for stagecoach so get a few drivers wanting service work done. I also recently started doing mechanical work for the bodyshop where my escort is.
I tend to charge £15 an hour. I dont take the piss with people, only charge them what the job 'should' have taken not how long it 'has' taken (im often lazy and potter on ) Also I dont mark up on parts etc, I pass on the discount I get.

People seem happy, im getting more and more work from the bodyshop so im doing something right

There are snap-on workshop discs you can get that will tell you times for jobs and all sorts of other info. that comes in handy when quoting for jobs.

 

i do some work on the side, i only charge £15 per hour, but during the day in work time we charge £40 +vat per hour

 

hard to say, ive just done a puma engine conversion ina fiesta for a mate of mine and charged in 150 to fit the thing, took me 2 days

 

my mate does mates rates for me bigstyle but i would have expected to pay more than 170 for that anywhere else.
