This is why I don't like to quote a per hour fee as I'm not a plumber. Many times I'll only charge $50 for cleaning a system & maintaining their data intact & while the other shops are charging several hundred for wiping the machine all it's data & then charging the customer per hour to surf the net to retrieve the necessary drivers. I also like asking people how much is knowledge worth. ;-)
Yes, I charge a flat rate for all our jobs. Sometimes I lose - but most times I'm accurate, and since I can do a bunch of machines simultaneously, it generally works out. (I'm not rich, however, so maybe I'm doing this wrong.) :)
