Had a service call for an icemaker problem on a GE refrig., 1 month

GE "assisted" me by not charging for the part. Hmmm....

You might think it is high but after you start up your own company and
purchase trucks, parts, insurance, health care, occupational licenses,
gasoline, tires and repairs, workmenscomp, taxes and a wealth of other
costs, you'll begin to understand why you actually got a pretty good
deal.

Yes, and the number one reason why new businesses fail. Many don't
realize what it costs to run a business and decide they can do it for
much less and then quickly go out of business when the bills come in.
Especially a service business where you loose so much time because of
travel.
