Discounts

[Guy, Karen, and Tor Nichols]

Ted,
	Which manufacturer? Some are like auto insurance claims, they've seen your
particular task before(alot), and have a 'set' amount they're willing to
pay for that job. Do you expect a long and fruitful relationship? Do you
think the tech service person you have to deal with will be there long
enough to matter? How long does it take them to pay? Factors to
consider.......
	As a general rule, you are the ONLY one that can say what you're worth.
When you do warranty work, you're providing the manufacturer with a lot
more than a fixed frammastat. You're rescuing their customer, and their
name. Big job. Big. Huge. Get paid for the whole job, not just the errand.
                      for what it's worth.....
