If you just started and wanna make new customers charge just below other shops or as much as cheapest one. Tell everyone you have promotion going on now and introductory rates. If you work for peanuts you’ll get the worst customers, old, beaten cars and a whole lot of complaints. You’ll find yourself liable for all the problems that happen on their cars just because you was the last (and only one 😉 ) who worked on them. It’ll take you years to get rid of all the morons who coming to you just because you are used to be cheap, even if now you are good and value yourself.
Trust me, it is real life experience talking here.If you just started and wanna make new customers charge just below other shops or as much as cheapest one.

Trust me, it is real life experience talking here.Yes new cars are in some ways more difficult to work on. But that is what you have to pay for better emissions, handling, performance, safety and comfort. It is not a simple task to pack all that new stuff into smaller vehicles. You might need to drop the whole engine now just to do water pump or even spark plugs, but it also easier to drop engine on new car than on old one if you know how to do it. But the most amazing thing now is that customer just have to use your help and pay you even for simple stuff like headlight bulbs – they just can’t do it themselves now! 🙂
