If it's further than 20 miles, I won't discount AND charge a mileage fee. This last call I got was to service a piano 'out of the box' that's 1 hour away. The dealership knows they're going to pay for the service and my time. Dale, I've never had a problem getting paid from a dealership - call it dumb luck?!? - and I don't believe in presenting my bill to a client who is expecting a 'free' tuning. Free to me means no out-of-pocket expenses to the client. -Phil Bondi(Fl)
