Electric motor shop 70.00 magneto repair shop 93.00.Thats why I do my own motor and mag work.Theres no way I could charge these rates fixing fence chargers.Most jobs would run over new replacement costs.I would have no work then.This is why the import stuff is taking over.I know it costs money to maintain a shop and buy tools but if your rates get so high customers stop coming, your done...Friend just paid 60.00 to an oil burner service to press the reset on his furnace.Wasnt there 5 minutes, was on his way home.Another friend that serviced restaurant equipment left his lights on. Fellow came from a service station across the road to boost him .35.00.He said the co he worked for charged less at that time.He bought a booster pack for 30.00 next day to keep in the truck.I have one and have used it to start customers cars in my drive way.Price ripoffs will lose customers.My customers drop off fence chargers and say fix it.They know I will call if the charger is not worth repair costs.Most say fix it any way.
