1158485 2010-12-03 16:57:00 I need quotes from 3 computer repair companies in varying parts of the country please.
These quotes will be used for comparison purposes only.

I recently did some work for an organisation, and they are suggesting I over-charged them. I highly doubt this, and therefore suggested I would obtain 3 random quotes from other companies and pass these onto the organisation. If it is indeed found I am overcharging, I will be quite happy to lower my pricing so it is more inline with others.

Once I have 3 people willing to send me a quote, I will send you the exact same email containing the issues, asking what would you charge to repair, and also a brief note on the actual repair - if you add suggestions for next time, I might learn something more from this as well :)

None of the information on any of the quotes will be passed to any other submitter.

1158488 2010-12-03 19:12:00 You'll probably find that they've been talking to one of the employees 18 year old sons who said he would have done it for $35.00 an hour.

Lives at home with his parents and uses their car :-)

1158490 2010-12-03 20:13:00 Why not, PM the details, or if you want I'll send you my email address. (I can PM you with it)

need to know the complete job, and what was involved. ( parts, time taken etc)

I often get that, some say I charge higher, some say "thats cheap"

gcarmich's comments sound very probable.


Do you want it on "Formal letterhead" :nerd:

1158494 2010-12-03 20:35:00 So the obvious next question is how much do they all vary by including your one? And no names by request!! Snorkbox (15764)
