I put shop in "__ " because i dont consider myself a fab shop. I recently started doing work on other people's rigs in the sop in my spare time after work and on the weekends. Current rig in the shop is a ram 2500 that i did a custom radius arm swap on. Hes a buddy so we havnt decided on how much i should charge him, but i have around 25hrs in this thing.
I now have another guy wanting me to do an axle swap on his Samurai. I have the axles but need to pull them and rebuild them (yota axles).
How much should I charge him? Should it be an hourly rate? Or flat rate for things like this? Ive seen other fab shop rates in the $70-90 per hour. I wasnt thinking anything near that, but wanted others opinions. I would be buying all the parts and adding it to their bill.
This also brings up whether or not I should get an LLC to cover my ass. This isnt just simple bolt on stuff so i would like to be covered in case of an emergency.
Thoughts?
