did some work for a friend
so i just did some work for a friend.
they have a silverado, and they asked if i could fix the inside up. so i purchased all the parts and put them all in.
stuff like A-piller cover, fuse panel, kick plate, mirror switch,window switch, headliner and all pieces, JB Welded her seat back together, and speakers.
so after spending the whole week in junk yards and internet getting all the parts for the best price, the parts total came to $300. not to bad i think.
it took me 20 hours of work to put it all together.
but the thing i need to know is how much to charge for labor, i know most shops charge $50 to $75 an hour, but that adds up fast.
so i decided on 15 an hour, but do you think thats to much for the jobs that were done?
thanks!

Re: did some work for a friend
i'd charge about $75- $100, + lunch. trying to charge by the hour is a pain for small jobs like that, and scince it's for a friend it's best not to get too technical when it comes to money.

Re: did some work for a friend
that's what i'd do, lump sum is simple and easy, and hard to argue about. any time i do an odd job like that i usually charge $75-$100, depending on the work.
