Perhaps….

Local dealer had a small disaster.

Got a call on tuesday. A local dealer whom I won't name ( lol) let a Customer in a handicapped van drive over the pit for an oil change. The customer somehow drove into the pit! When this happened it severed some AC and cooling lines under the van. Due to the fact that it's a modified van(...

What was that job worth? Add the time and gas…

That was a different job where they brought me the lines out of the van.

Got a call from a shop owner we used to deal with a lot. He had a handicapped Toyota van on the lift. Someone else jacked it up and smashed the ac lines that lead to the rear of the van.

Being a custom built van with a wheel chair lift the ac lines are custom made by the company that modified the van.

I loaded up all the stuff needed to do a Mobil repair. Fittings,sleeves, welding rod,torch, ac hose, crimper etc.

Drove about 10 miles to get there with fuel being $7 a gallon.

Cut out the smashed lines and did the repair.

Total time was 45 minutes once I got there.

I'm into the repair about $50 on my end as far as parts go. How much should I charge?

Average Stealership today would likely charge $500 for a repair like that. A reason I didn't get another Toyota their shops robbed me every time I took the car in. To bad because Toyota builds great cars for the most part!

Realistically if it was me and mobile repair was not something I typically did I would charge the time from time I loaded to unloaded at my hourly rate plus parts.

Most places who do mobile have a trip charge IME.
