Work all day for $200.00 Even if that doesn't include a single part, that is only $50,000 a year (5 day workweek, 2 weeks off), out of which he has the expense of his shop including utilities and advertising, tools, insurance, taxes, the additional self employment part of FICA, and then live on what is left over. That would put him way below the average wage in America. He would be financially much better off with a job at that local company you don't like.
I recently had a tire blow out that damaged my fender. The local dealer wanted $200 for an estimate that would take two weeks. Then, if I wanted them to do the work, they would apply that $200 to the repair which would take 6 weeks to do, once they got it in the front of the line. So, I found a local RV mobile repair guy one mile from my home. I ordered the parts that came in a week later. Then I went to the mobile guy's shop and together we repaired my trailer and it cost me only $200 for a whole days of work by him. I've got a friend for life now. My suggestion, find a good mobile RV guy.
