Cheap prices bring cheap customers who bring clapped out cars. Would rather charge more to avoid those headaches. All your points that you made in the video are pretty valid.

I find some of these videos hilarious. I have been in business for over 45 years. We have more work than we can do, I've never charged for diagnosis. It's not padded into the repair. My technicians start at 50 and hour... not flat rate. My highest paid technician is over 75.00. My labor rate 125.00 per hour. I've made a very good living. Learn how to run a respectable business and treat everyone fairly

A.i. telling my customers the cost of the repair should be what it cost ME in parts. You know what, why don’t we pay YOU to fix you car?

I’m a contract mechanic and I’m commenting telling them that they shouldn’t be charging more than 50% of what a shop charges, because they are not a shop.

I can understand this but some shops are getting out of hand on pricing I had a shop charge 1600 to change a pcm on a 2008 Chevy Silverado which in fact didn’t even fix the issue customer was having but each Bussiness has different strategies at the end of the day did you make money and are your bays full will show if your doing it right

waiving the diag fee if repairs are performed has got to be the biggest bullshit ive ever seen or heard, ive never understood it and im sure it was some owner or manager that started that b.s to get customers to stay...if thats what they want to do then it should come out of somebody elses pay...not the techs...techs will never agree with that 😬😬😬 my last dealer use to do that until he realized that we were being used for free diag

You’ve got a contradiction problem here. You say people commenting on “what’s fair” and what shops should charge are part of what’s wrong with the industry… then spend the rest of the video telling shops what they should charge for diagnostics, test drives, labor, and profitability You say social media comments “don’t affect your business,” but also call those same people a plague on the industry. And the whole “shade-tree hack” angle is tired. Choosing not to operate out of a brick-and-mortar shop does not make someone a hack. A building is not a qualification. Skill, experience, insurance, tools, accountability, warranty, and quality of work are. You even said the only thing that matters in business is being profitable. So if a professional mobile mechanic cuts massive overhead, charges fairly, warranties the work, and runs a profitable business… what exactly is the problem? A hack is a hack because of the work they do, not because of the address they do it at.

so true man. communication is part of the "product" we sell. and its the main way that trust is established. I started in the industry 25 years ago working for my godfather and I cant tell you how many times I heard him tell a customer that if they dont trust him they should not bring their cars to him. all these years later one of the biggest parts of my job is managing communication between techs and advisors and helping advisors with their communication to the customers. we are not cheap, but we take VERY good care of our customers and their vehicles.

Buddy when I hear the price of the repairs I almost shit myself!!!! I so glad I got great staff that does the pricing for me, cause I would have way too much "compassionate" pricing.

I think a lot of people ask for pricing over the phone to make sure they can actually afford it/not get surprised with the bill. We give a range and explain that more recommendations may be made as we complete the repair.

Prudence is a thing. If what you’re asking your employees to do is not prudent: you are bound to fail.

Also sucks seeing businesses sit there and try to tear down other shops to make themselves look better but in reality they’re just making the whole industry look bad.

We just started “half pricing” or discounting the price of the diag on the customers behalf but it doesn’t affect the hours the tech gets. We take the hit so the tech doesn’t. It’s not that hard really! Tech still gets paid and the customer shuts up! lol we will make that little bit back in another job!

Not everyone is our customer. Especially the clients that want the diagnosis free if they go ahead with the repairs.
