I have to agree with the posts below on the rates, $50 give or take an hour is very reasonable if you do good work. As far as the getting paid part of it goes, unless it's a longtime, trusted customer, get set up to take credit cards. I've talked to Dad about it lately, trying to get him to set us up since many companies nowdays like to go that route. I asked the shop forman at one of our local equipment dealerships about it the other day when we were talking about deadbeatr customers. He said when they give an estimate for a job they tell the customer they have to have their card info on file before they start a job, but that it won't be charged til the job is completed. They can then verify that there is enough available to cover their repairs before they even start. If anything over the estimate arises they notify the customer and get his Ok before they do it. When the job is done the customer has the option of leaving everything on the card or using another form of payment. As long as you add in enough to cover the cost of the card service your not losing anything this way but your sure making getting paid alot more sure.
