	i work on everything and anything, from chain saws to lawn mowers to semis and everything in between. I also do a lot of maintenance/repairs on the local fire department trucks, which i'm also on. my shop is just a side job, between my regular job and farming 800 acres with my buddy. just do because my wife stays home with the kids, its extra income. wife said that i should just raise my rates, but lower rates are why people come to me, and because i'm straight forward with people. they don't have to wonder about the work being done. i don't stock parts, just supply's. ( i do charge for freight on parts) if your shop is your only source of income and people are coming to you because they know you do good work for a good price and you feel that your being taken advantage of then maybe it's time to raise your rates. once again just my thoughts. ( don't mean to offend any one, if i did) dan

	If you mount his tires and a week later say one goes flat he brings it back to you ,say Side wall has a blemish inside that ruined the tube now who s responsible if the tire co won't stand behind the tire and tube because the didn't mount them ? And who pays you to remove and buy another tire and tube to get the Cust moving again. I do hvac work. We can't install any parts bought by the Cust because of our warranty on labor it says on our tickets Cust supplied or installed parts void all warenty's if I go to a house and Cust has worked on equipment iam supposed to take pictures of what's been done and leave.... pictures go in the file under liability call

	first of all if your labor and parts is not with in a buck of other places you are losing, but there nothing wrong with having specails , but you have to stay with the times with training, equipment and knowlage or data so it can be done correct and warrantable and timley. if not the other shop will just keep getting bigger and better and you will be gone . we do not waste time on peoples own parts because we cannot warranty them and usaully they are incorrect and of poor quality. we have larger customers that some time s we have them get the parts that we do not handle but usallay i still do the odrering for them so i get what we need , that will be charged out hourly labor and shop fees that applly

	Different type work for me, but the same type issue. I do home restoration work, and EVERY time the customer buys the materials, is wrong, missing something, and cost more money for us, and more delays, that THEY, don't want to here about!
