Drive time.
Question, what's the option on charging for drive time as opposed to not? I know a few that do but haven't seen it mentioned anywhere here. If you think you should what would be fair to charge?

@Ben Dellaria that was my thought process. Feel like charging a drive time is crazy. Don't see how people who do ever get work.

@LongHaul TrailerRepair I do think there is a place for charging for drive/trip. Someone I know was charging an hour minimum drive time at $150 and hour. Git called to change the washer fluid so it wouldn't freeze and was quoting $375 to drive 10 minutes and pull the fender liner to drain it. The customer declined for sure.
Tekmetric??
Can i see a show of hands. How many of you have gone with Timetric based on my recommendations?

Parts markup..
Not gonna lie it is hard for me to markup parts. Something inside of me feels bad. It doesn't feel right. I see a starter cost $200 and im expected to sell it for $400? Do ppl actually pay for that? I understand i have to change my mindset to make money. Did you guys ever feel this way? if so what helped with that?
