Hi guys; we charge $35.00 (Canadian) for a call which is basically to get to the door. 99% of all calls end up being a pick up and delivery anyways. Who wants to haul a scope around with 20 tool boxes full of parts and schematics ? I work on a $50.00 or less go-ahead on VCR's and $95.00 on TV's 25" or smaller, $125.00 on larger etc. I still offer free estimates because of the neighborhood I am in(No Rockefellers) But I usually hit them with the go-ahead option first to feel 'em out and see if they have the minimum for a repair.
