Pricing

So you know what you’re looking at before you call, text, or book. Flat-rate labor, honest numbers, no surprises.

How my pricing works

Flat-rate labor

You get a set price before I start — no meter running, no surprise hours. Labor is figured at a flat rate per job.

Minimum applies

Repairs are billed at the flat job rate or the $100 visit minimum — whichever is greater. That minimum covers travel, gas, and setup.

Parts are separate

The prices below are labor only. I’ll confirm any parts needed in your quote before we go ahead.

Quoted first

Every job is quoted and approved before I turn a wrench. No work happens without your OK.

Visit minimum

$100per visit — travel, gas & setup included

Every visit starts here. Small jobs are billed at the minimum — it’s what keeps me able to come to you.

Diagnostic

$100first hour, then $75/hr

For tracking down the problem. If it runs past an hour it’s $75/hr from there — and I cut the diagnostic charge in half if you hire me for the repair.

Every visit has a $100 minimum that covers travel, gas, and setup. Repairs are billed at the flat job rate or that minimum, whichever is greater. Prices shown are starting labor estimates and don’t include parts, fluids, or shop supplies. Final price is confirmed in your quote before any work begins. Heavily rusted, seized, or hard-to-access jobs can run higher — if that’s the case, I’ll tell you before I start, not after. Don’t see your job here? Call or text (712) 870-9494 and I’ll get you a number.
