Jerry,
It all boils down to "Will you  be able to make a profit".
If you turn down the offer, they may move onto another shop that will 
accept it and you
end up with nothing.
I get anywhere from $85-$110 just to run to the home to diagnose the unit.
$180-$240. for major in home repairs. When I can afford, the lower 
paying companies will
be renegotiated, or dropped.
It would be nice to think you can get more than offered, but you may not 
want to risk
losing the contract. On the other hand, you do want what is fair.
Jeff

Jeff ,I just wanted to know if the offered rates were
in the ball park..cost of doing business can vary a
mile away not just city by city or state by
state...judging by the responses i got, public and
private, $250 for a major on a larger than 28" is
closer to average and, some shops have been getting
that amount for over two years. also ge pays $65 for a
straight service call,and according to my counselor
thats all they will pay because "you guys" dont do
anything on a minor call anyway..thanks for the
responses..I found out what I wanted to know..Jerry
