Re: dammed public

back to the original thread i think
ther best course of action is to tell everyone over the phone about your call out charge and always charge one
you do not work for free nor should you be expected to
when we did free call outs all we did was run about giving quotes for them to either fix themselves or ask the next free estimate callout guy to fix for less
some even get you out just for curiousity we charge ten pound for the quote and that covers my time and puts off any time wasters while still being acceptable to genuine customers the callout is not for making money just for not wasting time

Re: dammed public

like i said i am not after making money off the callout just a deterant and it works the vast majority still pay for the repair only lose when a machine is ber which you can generally screen over the phone but most machines are not ber modules are cheap from emw motors rarely fail pumps cheap as chips bearings screened over the phone and punter sounded out

when i ber i offer the punter to have his tenner knocked off the price of a replacement so most of those come back to me to

pretty much win win to me

but i am in the centre of sunny blackpool and only travel at most ten miles either way

Re: dammed public

Its the same scenrio this side of the world
W e do 50-60 Service calls per day
The bottom line is you have to spell out your service call rates
Our service calls vary on the distance we have to travel(on avg $66-00Au)Our service call includes the first 15 mins only /then we charge at an houly rate ($88/HOUR)
Yes we can estimate over the phone on what the repairs may cost
Certain machines do have there inherent problems
No way do we give frre quotes
What is the point
Spell out why there is a servive call fee/ Vehicle Costs ,Insurance,Phone,Training,Super,Expertise,Etc Etc
Sure we get caught out as well
But the bottom line spell out the terms to start with & you will weed out the crap
