[QUOTE="grcthird, post: 648683, member: 1181"] Your price will go up when you start an LLC and insure it to protect yourself. Looking back at all the side work I used to do and what could have happened, kinda makes me cringe. Pricing your work will get easier the more you do it but even then you still get your ass handed to you every once in a while. For instance, I'm about 18+ hours into installing a rebuilt engine in a cj2a willis that was brought to me with parts in boxes taken off by another shop that went out of business. Yes it is easy to work on and I had to figure out what went where and all, but can I see charging the guy 1500 in labor fair? Not really. That's the hard part is finding a rate that you can live with, not gouging the customer, and still make some money to make it worth your time. Personally I think custom work should always be higher than replacing/rebuilding parts labor rates. [/QUOTE]
