In this case liability is minimal , I think . This failure was due

Are you sure you're asking enough money to ply your skillsets, Terry?
Didn't you diagnose, grind, weld, mill, groove, and fit those parts?

Yes, I'm sure they were happy with that price. g

Well , they brought me a broken part and the problem was obvious . I spent
just over 4 hours welding and machining . So I charged them for 5 hours shop
time . I could have charged them more , but the plan here is to charge
reasonable (for this area) and get a few jobs thru them . Shop rates up here
aren't as high as many places , most of the auto repair shops are only
around $45 to $50 per hour .
