I have an appliance repair business. I charge for labor and parts. I mark up my parts a flat percentage. How do I respond when a customer wants me to breakdown the cost of labor vs parts? Because I know what they are really trying to do is see if they can find the part cheaper on the internet.
I can spend hours doing a quote, I am not giving out that info so that they can nickle and dime someone else, I also don’t leave plans and measurements with quotes so that they can use my work to get a cheaper price.
I also won’t work for someone that says they can get it cheaper, I don’t care, My price is based on knowing exactly what the costs are
