It also depends on what needs to be done, how long I'm there, how far I have to travel etc. If it's back at the workshop, I usually quote a fixed price, as 90% of the time you cant do anything while scans are running, and I can have 3-4 PC's all working at different stages at once. Their site, as others have mentioned needs fixing - no point in having damn pictures without working links. |

If it's back at the workshop, I usually quote a fixed price. I charge $75. And flat fee for workshop fixes which is mostly. I can't be bothered counting 10 mins, 15 mins, whatever. There is a minimum, usually $45 depending on whether I like them or not. Anything taking less than 11 minutes or diagnosis only is free. |
