I have a quick story that has been driving me nuts lately and it might help me get over it to share it on the forum.
I did two separate service calls in a rental house that a local faith based financial advisor owns. A short while after the work was completed I mailed the invoice, after he received it he requested an itemized bill. We provided the itemization breaking down each individual part and the labor charges. the total came to around $400.00 for four hours work which required two trips and the required parts for the repairs. After he viewed the itemization he sent me a check deducting 1 hour labor because he didn't feel the service was worth that kind of dollar amount. He stated that the bill came to twice what he thought it should have been. I kindly explained to him that earlier that day I had the same experience when I filled my work van up with diesel fuel and it cost me $127.00. I thought that it should have been around $60.00 but I still had to pay for the whole bill. I also told him that I had that same feeling every month when I pay my commercial liability insurance but so far I have to keep paying the whole amount.
I wanted to get into the conversation about what he does and the fees that he charges and to see if he thought that his serivces were "worth that kind of dollar amount" but I thought better of it before I opened my mouth. Isn't it kind of ironic that a person who charges way to much money for doing way to little work would actually pull a stunt like this?
Thanks for listening!
