When shoppers make an appointment to have repairs completed on their AC, every one of us tell everyone there is a minimum $99 repair charge for each call.
If every one of us send a professional out to the address, every one of us charge a minimum of $99.
There is no fee for the call if the purchaser uses our business to complete the repair. The average A/C service is around $200. Last month I went to a home where the purchaser needed a brand modern toggle switch for the AC. This particular switch was still under warranty. Unluckyly, the labor was not covered. I only charged that lady a single hour of labor costs which was equal to the $99 fee. In total, the price for the bill was $160. It was a adequate amount of money for an A/C repair. A purchaser was irate when she found out that the bill was more than $99. She claimed the lady on the iphone told her that the service would cost that amount. I tried to explain to the lady that was our minimum repair charge, although she was angry in addition to confused. I called the office in addition to spoke to the manager about the service bill. She told me to charge the lady $99 in addition to every one of us decided to take a loss on the sale. I do not know if the lady was crazy or cheap, although she got away with a $60 savings because she acted adore a fool. I didn’t want our boss to split the bill in half, although she told me that nice purchaser repair means taking a loss every once in a while.
