Windshield Repair Forum

Sunday in Atlanta, we will be back to $3.15 a gallon or more. How far are you willing to drive to serve your customers at your regular prices? I am going to charge a surcharge of $5.00 for all new retail customers-dealers will remain the same.
Are any of the networks willing to pay us more for our expenses? I will cut down the miles I cover for insurance unless they pay me!

$3.15 a gallon try $9.00 over here. Although we have managed to keep repair prices higher than the States. My vehicle does 54 to the gallon so it is not to bad.

I think a gas surcharge will do nothing but p&#s off the customer if its a new customer just give him prices a little higher than you used to0. Inflation is every day stuff and profit isnt a bad word

My customers are extremely happy I am not passing on a surcharge. As long as I am getting work its all ok. This week has been reallllly light though.

People are in a panic and holding on to their dough. I have cut out almost all eating out to divert funds to the gas tank so its not like I am losing money just having to make personal adjustments. When work is not coming in, then I am losing money. Ouch!

Gas here is $1.23 a liter, and there's about 4 liters to a gallon! If prices don't go down, in December I will charge my customers an extra $5 as well.

I will not be adding to my repair prices. I'm thankful to have a successful business and a dry roof over my head!

Dave M,
I too, have a successful business, but my roof is leaking and needs repair.
I am raising prices only to new retail customers. They don't know my regular price.

We wont raise our price. Desiel is 3.19$ here. hope it doesnt go higher.

At 70 miles per gallon it's nothing if not efficient, another option for those in the warmer climes is a motorcycle with a trailer(one of my techs did this this summer, fun and a good conversation piece).

Enjoy

Pretty cool, but not yet available in the US
