So, the last time you had a repair guy (or gal) out to the house.

* What did he (she) repair?
* How much was the trip charge, or price to just show up?
* What was the labor rate, or price per hour?
* Has any repair guy (or gal) said the price went up, account of price of
gas?

I repair office machines for a living, over a wide area. specifically
roll laminators that put plastic on paper like menus are laminated.

my costs are sky rocketing, and i have raised my labor and travel
rates.

every on site service business is getting hammered.

I am spending 300 bucks a week minimu for fuel.

thats over 15 grand a year. and having to carry parts, machines and
some supplies for sale i cant use a sub compact. i use a mini van

Molding plastic foam. The last US machine builders went out of business in
the 1980's.

I had a leaking pipe under my 60 year old kitchen sink and called a
plumbing company out of the phone book. They came in 2 hours, replaced
the broken part and fixed it for $80, probably took less than 45
minutes.

I had called my insurance company because I had no idea how long the
pipe had been leaking, so they sent Servicemaster over to have a look.

Servicemaster said that pulling the linoleum back and drying the wood
off with my hairdryer was the right thing to do and there wasn't any
damage the dehumidifier wouldn't take care of. They didn't charge me
anything.

You're not including the Craiglist "Erotica" listings, are you? I notice
that, at, oh, $180/hour, they're cheaper than some A/C people.

And a lot more fun. For example, they'll only talk dirty if you want them
to.

I was kinda hoping for some numbers of what folks charge. How much to show
up, and the labor rate?

I also drive a van. No way I could be effective out of a passenger car.

Thanks, Ed. I'm obviously far too cheap.
