Mobile Rv tech-warranty work-do you guys tip????

I have a mobile rv tech coming to my seasonal campsite tomorrow to replace the awning motor in my 2670 primetime tracer under warranty from the dometic recall... its a 1.5 hr drive each way for him... do you guys tip for warranty work?
  • I don't tip people for doing their job,(except wait staff.)

    If they do something extra, I always tip.
  • I think that a $20 tip will really improve the mechanic's day! Or even if you have a sandwich ready for lunch? Perhaps a couple of soda's? It is a seasonal campsite, so it is likely that the mechanic can not go to the local hamburger joint in a couple of minutes at break time or lunch.

    It was not the mechanic's fault that the part failed, he is just making the situation better, and correcting the problem.

    Have a great day, and I hope that everything works out well, the mechanic does not need to return for something like a missing dowel pin or something. . .

    Fred.
  • I wait to see how well the job is done and how big the job is. I do not tip a waitress until I see if I am happy with there service. To answer your question, yes, if job is done to my satisfaction.
