I'm curious to know what sort of rates are being charged dealers for service outside the normal service area. I'll be traveling 3 hours one way, and doing about 2 hrs of service, then the return trip. So basically all day, no breaks, and no guarantees. Any suggestions?? I was thinking of charging two standard tuning fees to get there A. because it's out of my active service territory and I had nothing to do with the sale B. because it takes about an hour and a half to do one tuning including travel time. then I was thinking of charging the dealer the usual discount rate I charge all dealers, and because most dealer calls take about an hour, not including driving time, I would charge this amount twice for two hours. Then the same two basic tuning fees to get back home. How's my logic line up with the rest of you out there in the real world?? Thanks fellas.
