Service calls are necessary to cover our costs.
You compared service calls to doctors fees.
But what you didnt mention was that you have to go to the doctor....we tradies have to come to you with our stocked vans, all our tools and test gear.
We have to have loads of Insurance policies to walk in your door as well.
So please dont get my goat up about tradies charging what doctors do. Its unfair. We have to make a living too, and it aint easy, believe me.
I would love to charge a service call fee or people who dont stay at home for for their call as well, thats rude in my book. Especially when I give a 3 hr time span for my calling.
