Charge them 50 bucks an hour.

For 20 bucks they can afford to argue with you, at 50 bucks an hour they can't afford to.....

For 20 bucks an hour, they figure you know about as much as a parts store counter clerk. For 50 bucks and hour they give your advice doctor's heed!

I was just going to reply with something similar--@j par Charging so little is actually suppressing the very market you are trying to raise. I understand being fair but $20/hr is not fair to YOU. J.Rob

LOL I do charge more than $20 an hour...
And of course drive time...
Also it's not all assholes and elbows it's more of a casual help... I mean I get down and dirty but the person there has to be working just as much as me or more.. I'm not a mechanic for hire as in point at what needs to be fixed and go mow the lawn and drink lemonade...
I pick and choose what I want to work on and it's generally stuff that's mid 70s or older... Also with the people I want to work with... Out of 20 calls I might take one or two.. as opposed to like my son who is a mechanic at a shop and has to take on every Hyundai that comes with bad brakes...
