[RE-wrenches] Retail price lists

[Dave Tedeyan]

If a customer wants to use some of their own parts, I'll need to add some
amount of hours for managing them and their purchase list, and make it
clear in the contract that issues arising from incomplete or incorrect
parts is on them.
Or you can do what I saw at my mechanic shop the other day: Labor =
$120/hr. If you bring your own parts, labor = $150/hr.
Cheers,
Dave
