I guess if you can't fix it yourself than you must pay the piper. But what gets me is that in an hour, what do you get? coffee break potty break, talking to fellow employees, foreman brings in a customer so he can ask you a couple questions, and on and on. Don't forget the walk over the parts counter and the wait and then find they haven't got the part thats needed and the delay that goes with that. May even have to put it back together to get it back outside to get in a differant unit to work on while parts are ordered. All that goes on your bill.THATS NOT RIGHT. Out of an hours charge you may get 25/30 minutes labor.
Have you ever employed people? Have you ever worked for an hourly wage?
$100 an hour is normal around me for a lot of services - vehicle work, plumbers, electricians... landscapers charge $65+ also.
Bulldozer work charges by the hour, even though half the time they are going backwards. Same with the guy snowplowing the driveway - try paying him only 1/2 what he charges, because he had to back up 1/2 the time....
